WAR  DEPARTMENT, 

WASHINGTON,  AUGUST  10,  1861. 

• 

WHEREAS,  it  has  been  found  expedient  to  revise  the 
Regulations  for  the  Army,  and  the  same  having  been 
approved  by  the  President  of  the  United  States,  he  com- 
mands that  they  be  published  for  the  information  and 
government  of  the  military  service,  and  that,  from  and 
after  the  date  hereof,  they  shall  be  strictly  observed  as 
the  sole  and  standing  authority  upon  the  matter  therein 
contained. 

Nothing  contrary  to  the  tenor  of  these  Regulations 
will  be  enjoined  in  any  part  of  the  forces  of  the  United 
States  by  any  commander  whatsoever.

the  line  of  the  army,  marine  corps,  or  militia,  by  commission,  there  on 
duty  or  in  quarters,  shall  command  the  whole,  and  give  orders  for  what 
is  needful  to  the  service,  unless  otherwise  specially  directed  by  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  case. — (62cZ  Art

special  service. 

11.  In  regularly  constituted    commands,  as   garrisons,   posts,  depart- 
ments;  companies,  battalions,  regiments;  corps,  brigades,  divisions,  army 
corps,  or  the  army  itself,  brevet  rank  cannot  be  exercised  except  by  spe-

special  order  of  the  President. 

13.  An  officer  of  the  Pay  or  Medical  Department  cannot  exercise  com- 
mand except  in  his  own  department ;  but,  by  virtue  of  their  commissions, 
officers  of  these  departments  may  command  all  enlisted  men,  like  othei 
commission  pd  officers. 

14.  Officers  of  the  corps  of  Engineers  or  Ordnance,  or  of  the  Adju-

excepted. 

16.  During  the  absence  of  the  Adjutant-General,  or  of  the  chief  of 
any  military  bureau  of  the  War  Department,  his  duties  in  the  bureau,

the  public  property  and  funds  pertaining  to  his  command  or  duty,  and 
shall  receive  therefor  duplicate  receipts,  showing  the  condition  of  each 
article. 

18.  An  officer  in  a  temporary  command  shall  not,  except  in  urgent 
cases,  alter  or  annul  the  standing  orders  of  the  regular  or  permanent 
commander  without  authority  from  the  next  higher  commander. 


ARTICLE   IV. 

APPOINTMENT  AND  PROMOTION  OF  COMMISSIONED  OFFICERS. 

19.  All  vacancies  in  established  regiments  and  corps,  to  the  rank  of 
Colonel,  shall  be  filled  by  promotion  according  to  seniority,  except  in 
case  of  disability  or  other  incompetency.

23.  Whenever  the  public  service  may  require  the  appointment  of  any 
citizen  to  the  army,  a  Board  of  Officers  will  be  instituted,  before  which 
the  applicant  will  appear  for  an  examination  into  his  physical  ability, 
moral  character,  attainments,  and  general  fitness  for  the  service.  If  the 
Board  report  in  favor  of  the  applicant,  he  will  be  deemed  eligible  for  a 
commission  in  the  army. 


ARTICLE   V. 

RESIGNATIONS  OF  OFFICERS. 

24.  Nc  officer  will  be  considered  out  of  service  on  the  tender  of  his 
resignation,  until  it  shall  have  been  duly  accepted  by  the  proper  authority. 
Any  officer  who,  having  tendered  his  resignation,  shall,  prior  to  due  notice 
of  the  acceptance  of  the  same  by  the  proper  authority,  and,  without  leave, 
quit  his  post  or  proper  duties  with  the  intent  to  remain  permanently 
absent  therefrom,  shall  be  registered  as  a  deserter,  and  punished  as  such. 

25.  Resignations  will  be  forwarded  by  the  commanding  officer  to  the

General  will  ascertain  and  report  to  the  War  Department  the  state  of 
such  officer's  accounts  of  money,  as  well  as  of  public  property,  for  which 
he  may  have  been  responsible. 

28.  In  time  of  war,  or  with  an   army  in  the  field,  resignations  shall

Staff  Appointments. Care  of  Fortifications. 

31.  An  officer  shall  not  be  transferred  from  one  regiment  or  corps  to 
another  with  prejudice  to  the  rank  of  any  officer  of  the  regiment  or  corps 
to  which  he  is  transferred. 

32.  Transfers  will  be  seldom  granted — never  except  for  cogent  reasons. 


ARTICLE  VII. 

APPOINTMENTS  ON  THE  STAFF. 

33.  As  far  as  practicable,  all  appointments  and  details  on  the  staff  will 
be  equalized  among  the  several  regiments. 

34.  General  Officers  appoint  their  own  Aides-de-camp. 

35.  Brevet  Brigadier  and  Major  Generals  on  duty  as  such,  may,  with 
the  special  sanction  of  the  War  Department,  be  allowed  the  aides-de-camp 
of  their  brevet  grades. 

36.  An  officer  shall  not  fill  any  staff  appointment,  or  other  situation, 
the  duties  of  which  will  detach  him  from  his  company,  regiment,  or  corps, 
until  he  has  served  at  least  three  years  with  his  regiment  or  corps;  nor 
shall  any  officer  (aides-de-camp  excepted)  so  remain  detached  longer  than 
four  years. 

37.  An  officer  of  a  mounted   corps  shall  not  be  separated  from  his

38.  The  senior  Lieutenant  present,  holding  the  appointment  of  Assistant 
Commissary  of  Subsistence,  is.  entitled  to  perform  the  duties. 


ARTICLE  VIII. 

DISTRIBUTION  OF  THE  TEOOPS. 

39.  The  military  geographical  departments  will  be  established  by  the 
War  Department.     In  time  of  peace,  brigades  or  divisions  will  not  be 
formed,  nor  the  stations  of  the  troops  changed,  without  authority  from  the 
War  Department. 

ARTICLE  IX. 

CAEE  OF  FORTIFICATIONS. 

40.  No  person  shall  be  permitted  to  walk  upon  any  of  the  slopes  of  a 
fortification,  excepting  the  ramps  and  glacis.     If,  in  any  case,  it  be  neces- 
sary to  provide  for  crossing  them,  it  should  be  done  by  placing  wooden 
steps  or  stairs  against  the  slopes.     The  occasional  walking  of  persons  on  a 
parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  surface  into 
paths. 


REVISED   REGULATION 


Care  of  Fortifications. 


41.  No  cattle,  horses,  sheep,  goat,  or  other  animal,  shall  ever  be  per- 
mitted to  go  upon  the  slopes,  the  ramparts,  or  the  parapets,  nor  upon  the 
glacis,  except  within  fenced  limits,  which  should  not  approach  the  crest 
nearer  than  30  feet. 

42.  All  grassed  surfaces,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and 
frequently  mowed  (except  in  dry  weather),  and  the  oftener  the  better, 
while  growing  rapidly — the  grass  never  being  allowed  to  be  more  than  a 
few  inches  high.     In  order  to  cut  the  grass  even  and  close,  upon  small 
elopes  a  light  one-handed  scythe  should  be  used ;  and  in  mowing  the  steep 
slopes,  the  mower  should  stand  on  a  light   ladder  resting  against  the 
slope,  and  not  upon  the  grass.     Crops  of  hay  may  be  cut  on  the  glacis ; 
or,  if  fenced,  it  may  be  used  as  pasture ;  otherwise  it  should  be  treated  as 
other  slopes  of  the  fortification.    On  all  the  slopes,  spots  of  dead  grass  will 
be  cut  out  and  replaced  by  fresh  sods.     All  weeds  will  be  eradicated.     A 
very  little  labor,  applied  steadily  and  judiciously,  will  maintain  the  grassed 
surfaces,  even  of  the  largest  of  our  forts,  in  good  condition. 

43.  The  burning  of  grass  upon  any  portion  of  a  fortification  is  strictly 
forbidden. 

44.  Particular  attention  is  required  to  prevent  the  formation  of  gullies 
in  the  parade,  terreplein,  and  ramps,  and  especially  in  slopes  where  grass 
is  not  well  established.     If  neglected,  they  soon  involve  heavy  expense. 

45.  Earth,  sand,  or  ashes  must  not  be  placed  against  wood-work;  a  free 
ventilation  must  be  preserved  around  it  •  and  all  wooden  floors,  platforms, 
bridges,  &c.,  will  be  kept  clean  swept. 

46.  The  machinery  of  draw-bridges,  gates,  and  posterns  must  be  kept 
in  good  working  order  by  proper  cleaning  and  oiling  of  the  parts ;  the 
bridges  will  be  raised,  and  the  gates  and  posterns  opened  as  often  as  once 
a  week. 

47.  The  terrepleins  of  forts,  the  floors  of  casemates,  caponniers,  store- 
rooms, barracks,  galleries,  posterns,  magazines,  &c.,  and  the  sidewalks  in 
front  of  quarters  and  barracks,  as  well  as  other  walks,  are  sometimes  paved 
with  bricks  or  stones,  or  formed  of  concrete.    These  surfaces  must  be  pre- 
served from  injury  with  great  care.     In  transporting  guns  and  carriages, 
and  in  mounting  them,  strong  way-planks  will  be  used,  and  neither  the 
wheels  nor  any  other  part  of  the  carriages,  nor  any  machinery,  such  as 
shears,  gins,  &c.,  nor  any  handspike  or  other  implements,  will  be  allowed 
to  touch  those  surfaces.     Unless  protected  in  a  similar  manner,  no  wheel- 
barrow or  other  vehicle,  no  barrels,  hogsheads,  &c.,  will  be  rolled  upon 
these  surfaces.     No  violent  work  will  be  suffered  to  be  done  upon  them, 
such  as  cutting  wood,  breaking  coal,  &c.,  and  no  heavy  weight  be  thrown 
or  permitted  to  fall  thereon.     In  using  machines,  as  gins,  &c.,  in  case- 
mates, care  must  be  taken  not  to  injure  the  arch  or  celling,  as  well  as  the

floor.  Neglect  of  these  precautions  may  cause  injuries  slight  in  appear- 
ance but  serious  in  effect  from  the  leaking  of  water  into  masonry  and 
casemates,  and  expensive  to  repair. 

48.  The  doors  and  windows  of  all  store-rooms  and  unoccupied  case- 
mates, quarters,  barracks,  &c.,  will  be  opened  several  times  a  week  for 
thorough  ventilation. 

49.  The  masonry  shot-furnaces  will  be  heated  only  on  the  approach  of 
an  enemy.    For  ordinary  practice  with  hot  shot,  iron  furnaces  are  provided. 

50.  The   foregoing  matters  involve  but  little  expense;    the  labor  is 
within  the  means  of  every  garrison,  and  no  technical  knowledge  is  called 
for  beyond  what  will  be  found  among  soldiers.     Other  repairs  requiring 
small  disbursements,  such  as  repainting  exposed  wood  or  iron  work,  can 
be  also  executed  by  the  garrison ;  but  reports,  estimates,  and  requisitions 
may  be  necessary  to  obtain  the  materials. 

51.  No  alteration  will  be  made  in  any  fortification,  or  in  its  casemates, 
quarters,  barracks,  magazines,  store-houses,  or  any  other  building  belong- 
ing to  it ;  nor  will  any  building  of  any  kind,  or  work  of  earth*  masonry, 
or  timber  be  erected  within  the  fortification,  or  on  its  exterior  within  half 
a  mile,  except  under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  Department, 
and  by  the  authority  of  the  Secretary  of  War.

52.  At  each  permanent  post  with  a  fixed  battery,  and  garrisoned  by  not 
more  than  one  company,  there  will  be  kept  mounted,  for  purposes  of 
instruction  and  target  practice,  three  heavy  guns,  and  at  posts  garrisoned 
by  more  than  one  company,  at  the  rate  of  two  for  each  of  the  companies 
composing  its  garrison.     The  other  guns  dismounted  will  be  properly 
placed  (see  page  21,  Ordnance  Manual  for  1850)  within  their  own  traverse 
circles,  and  the  carriages  preserved  from  the  weather. 

53.  All  guns  should  be  sponged  clean  and  their  vents  examined  to  see 
<hat  they  are  clear.     The  chassis  should  be  traversed  and  left  in  a  different 
position,  the  top  carriage  moved  backward  and  forward  and  left  alter- 
nately over  the  front  and  rear  transoms  of  the  chassis ;  the  elevating 
screws  or  machines  wiped  clean,  worked  and  oiled  if  required,  and  the 
nuts  of  all  bolts  screwed  up  tight.     This  should  all  be  done  regularly  once 
in  every  week. 

54.  When  tarpaulins,  or  pent  houses,  are  placed  over  the  guns,  they 
should  be  removed  once  a  week  when  the  weather  is  fair,  the  carriages 
and  guns  brushed  off,  and,  if  damp,  allowed  to  dry. 

55.  An  old  sponge-Ftaff  and  head  should  be  used  for  drill.     The  new

sponges  should  never  be  used  unless  the  gun  is  fired.  The  implements 
should  be  kept  in  store,  under  cover,  and  be  examined,  wiped  clean  or 
brushed  at  least  once  a  month.  In  the  case  of  leather  equipments,  the 
directions  for  the  preservation  of  harness  in  the  Ordnance  Manual  should 
be  followed. 

56.  The  magazine  should  be  frequently  examined  to  see  that  the  powder 
is  well  preserved.     It  should  be  opened  every  other  day  when  the  air  is 
dry  and  clear.    Barrels  of  powder  should  be  turned  and  rolled  occasionally. 
Under  ordinary  circumstances,  only  a  few  cartridges  should  be  kept  filled. 
If  the  paper  body  of  the  cartridge  becomes  soft  or  loses  its  sizing,  it  is 
certain  that  the  magazine  is  very  damp,  and  some  means  should  be  found 
to  improve  the  ventilation.     Cartridge  bags  may  be  kept  in  the  magazine 
ready  for  filling;  also  port-fires,  fuzes,  tubes,  and  primers.     Stands  of 
grape,  canisters,  and  wads  for  barbette  guns,  should  be  kept  in  store  with 
the  implements.     For  casemate  guns,  wads  may  be  hung  in  bundles,  and 
grape  and  canisters  placed  near  the  guns.    Shot,  well  lacquered  and  clean, 
may  be  placed  in  piles  near  the  guns. 

ARTICLE  XL 

ARTILLERY   PRACTICE. 

57.  At  all  posts  with  fixed  batteries,  the  position  of  every  gun,  mounted 
or  to  be  mounted,  will  have  its  number,  and  this  number  be  placed  on  the 
gun  when  in  position. 

58.  For  every  such  work  a  post-book  of  record  will  be  kept,  under  the 
direction  of  the  commander  of  the  post,  in  which  will  be  duly  entered — 
the  number  of  each  mounted  gun,  its  calibre,  weight,  names  of  founder 
and  its  inspector,  and  other  marks;  the  description  of  its  carriage  and 
date  of  reception  at  the  post ;  where  from ;  and  the  greatest  field  of  fire 
of  the  gun  in  its  position. 

59.  Every  commander  of  a  fort  or  other  fixed  battery  will,  before  enter- 
ing on  artillery  practice,  carefully  reconnoitre  and  cause  to  be  sketched 
for  his  record-book,  the  water-channels  with  their  soundings,  and  other 
approaches  to  the  work.     Buoys  or  marks  will  be  placed  at  the  extreme 
and  intermediate  ranges  of  the  guns,  and  these  marks  be  numerically 
noted  on  the  sketch.     A  buoy  at  every  five  hundred  yards  may  suffice. 

60.  At  the  time  of  practice,  a  distinct  and  careful  note  will  be  made 
for  the  record-book  of  every  shot  or  shell  that  may  be  thrown,  designating 
the  guns  fired  by  their  numbers,  the  charges  of  powder  used,  the  times 
of  flight  of  shots  and  shells,  the  ranges  and  ricochets,  and  the  positions 
of  guns  in  respect  to  the  horizontal  and  vertical  lines. 

61.  The  time  of  flight  of  a  shell  may  be  noted  with  sufficient  accuracy 


FOR   THE   ARMY.  17 


Artillery  Practice. 


by  a  stop-watch,  or  by  counting  the  beats  (previously  ascertaining  their 
value)  of  other  watches,  and  the  range  may  sometimes  be  computed  by  the 
time  of  flight.  Other  modes  of  ascertaining  the  range  will  readily  occur 
to  officers  of  science. 

62.  When  charged  shells  with  fuzes  are  thrown,  the  time  of  bursting 
will  be  noted.      If  they  are  intended  to  fall  on  land,  only  a  blowing 
charge  will  be  given  to  the  shells,  so  that  they  may  be  picked  up  for 
further  use. 

63.  On  filling  from  the  barrel,  the  proof  range  of  powder  will  be 
marked  on  the  cartridges. 

64.  The  general  objects  of  this  practice  are — to  give  to  officers  and 
men  the   ready  and  effective  use  of  batteries;    to  preserve  on   record 
the  more  important  results  for  the  benefit  of  the  same,  or  future  com- 
manders, and  to  ascertain  the  efficiency  of  guns  and  carriages. 

65.  Commanders   of  field  artillery  will  also  keep  registers  of  their 
practice,  so  that  not  a  shot  or  shell  shall  be  thrown  in  the  Army,  for 
instruction,  without  distinct  objects,  such   as  range,  accuracy  of  aim^ 
number  of  ricochets,  time  of  bursting,  in  the  case  of  shells,  &c. 

66.  Every  company  with  a  field  battery  will  be  allowed  for  annual 
practice  as  many  blank  cartridges  for  the  instruction  and  drill  as  may  be 
necessary  for  the  purpose,  on  requisitions  duly  approved  at  the  proper 
Departments.     Companies  with  fixed  batteries  will  be  allowed  100  car- 
tridges each,  with  seventy-five  shots  or  shells.     This  ammunition  will  be 
expended  in  equal  parts  in  the  three  months  designated  below,  and  if  the 
company  be  mounted,  eight  blank  cartridges  will  be  allowed  for  each  of 
the  other  months  in  the  year.     This  allowance  is  intended  only  for  com- 
panies permanently  serving  with  batteries.     The  firing  with  field-guns  by 
other  Artillery  companies  must  be  confined  to  blanJc  cartridges. 

67.  For  all  Artillery  there  will  be  annually  three  periods  of  practice  in 
firing — April,  June,  and    October  for  the  latitude  of  Washington  and 
south ;   and  May,  July,  and  September  north  of  that  latitude. 

68.  At  the  termination  of  each  period  of  practice,  the  commanding 
officers  of  posts  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant-General  full  reports  of  the 
icsults,  in  order  that  proper  tabular  statements  may  be  prepared  for  the 
War  Department. 

69.  To  determine  accuracy  of  aim  in  firing  shot  and  shell,  butts  or 
targets  will  be  used.     Where  no  natural  butt  presents  itself,  targets  will 
be  erected.     A  form  for  floating  targets  will  be  sent  to  the  commanders 
of  the  several  forts. 

70.  As  practice  in  gunnery  is  a  heavy  expense  to  government,  com- 
mande-rs  of  companies  and  their  immediate  superiors  are  charged  with 

B2  2 


18  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Regiments. — Non-Commissioned  Officers. 

the  strict  execution  of  the  foregoing  details;  and  all  officers  authorized 
to  make  tours  of  inspection  will  report,  through  the  prescribed  channels, 
on  such  execution. 

ARTICLE   XII. , 

REGIMENTS. 

71.  On  the  organization  of  a  regiment,  the  companies  receive  a  per- 
manent designation  by  letters  beginning  with  A,  and  the  officers  are 
assigned  to  companies ;  afterward,  company  officers  succeed  to  companies, 
as  promoted  to  fill  vacancies.     Companies  take  place  in  the  battalion  ac- 
cording to  the  rank  of  their  captains. 

72.  Captains  should  be  with  their  companies.     Therefore,  although 
subject  to  the  temporary  details  of  service,  as  for  courts-martial,  military 
boards,  &c.,  they  shall  not,  except  for  urgent  reasons,  be  detailed  upon 
any  duty  which  may  separate  them  for  any  considerable  time  from  their 
companies. 

73.  The  commander  of  a  regiment  will  appoint  the  adjutant  from  the 
subalterns  of  the  regiment.     He  will  nominate  the  regimental  quarter- 
master to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  appointment  if  approved.     He  will 
appoint  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment ;  and,  upon  the  re- 
commendation of  the  company  commanders,  the  sergeants  and  corporals 
of  companies. 

74.  In  cases  of  vacancy,  and  till  a  decision  can  be  had  from  regimental 
head-quarters,  the  company  commanders  may  make  temporary  appoint- 
ments of  non-commissioned  officers. 

75.  Commanders  of  regiments   are  enjoined  to  avail  themselves  of 
every  opportunity  of  instructing  both  officers  and  men  in  the  exercise  and 
management  of  field  artillery ;   and  all  commanders  ought  to  encourage 
useful  occupations,  and  manly  exercises  and  diversions  among  their  men, 
and  to  repress  dissipation  and  immorality. 

.  76.  Regiments  serving  on  foot,  being  usually  employed  as  light  troops, 
will  be  habitually  exercised  in  the  system  of  U.  S.  Tactics  for  light  in- 
fantry and  riflemen  adopted  by  the  War  Department,  May  1,  1861. 

NON-COMMISSIONED    OFFICERS. 

77.  A  board,  to  consist  of  the  Professors  of  Mathematics  and  Ethics 
and  the  Commandant  of  Cadets,  will  convene  at  the  Military  Academy, 
on  the  first  Monday  of  September  in  every  year,  for  the  examination  of 
such  non-commissioned  officers,  for  promotion,  as  have  already  passed  the 
regimental  examination  prescribed  in  General  Orders  No.  1 T,  of  October 
*4  1851. 


FOR   THE  ARMY.  19 


Non-Commissioned  Officers. 


78.  It  is  enjoined  upon  all  officers  to  be  cautious  ^  reproving  non- 
commissioned officers  in  the  presence  or  hearing  of  privates,  lest  their 
authority  be  weakened  ;  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  not  to  be  sent 
to  the  guard-room  and  mixed  with  privates  during  confinement,  but  to  be 
considered  as  placed  in  arrest,  except  in  aggravated  cases,  where  escape 
may  be  apprehended. 

79.  Non-commissioned  officers  may  be  reduced  to  .the  ranks  by  the 
sentence  of  a  court-martial,  or  by  order  of  the  commander  of  the  regiment 
on  the  application  of  the  company  commander.     If  reduced  to  the  ranks 
by  garrison  courts,  at  posts  not  the  head-quarters  of  the  regiment,  the 
company  commander  will  immediately  forward  a  transcript  of  the  order 
to  the  regimental  commander. 

80.  Every  non-commissioned  officer  shall  be  furnished  with  a  certificate 
or  warrant  of  his  rank,  signed  by  the  colonel  and  countersigned  by  the 
adjutant.     Blank  warrants,  on  parchment,  are  furnished  from  the  Adju- 
tant-General's office.     The  first,  or  orderly  sergeant,  will  be  selected  by 
the  captain  from  the  sergeants. 

81.  When  it  is  desired  to  have  bands  of  music  for  regiments,  there 
will  be  allowed  for  each,  sixteen  privates  to  act  as  musicians,  in  addition 
to  the  chief  musicians  authorized  by  law,  provided  the  total  number  of 
privates  in  the  regiment,  including  the  band,  does  not  exceed  the  legal 
standard.     Regimental  commanders  will  without  delay  designate  the  pro- 
portion to  be  subtracted  from  each  company  for  a  band,  and  the  "number 
of  recruits  required"  will  be  reported  accordingly.     The  companies  from 
which  the  non-commissioned  officers  of  bands  for  artillery  regiments  shall 
be  deducted,  will  in  like  manner  be  designated,  and  vacancies  left  ac- 
cordingly.    At  the  artillery  school,  Fort  Monroe,  the  non-commissioned  * 
officers  and  privates  of  the  band,  will  be  apportioned  among  the  companies 
serving  at  the  post. 

82.  The  musicians  of  the  band  will,  for  the  time  being,  be  dropped 
from  company  muster-rolls,  but  they  will  be  instructed  as  soldiers,  and 
liable  to  serve  in  the  ranks  on  any  occasion.     They  will  be  mustered  in 
a  separate  squad  under  the  chief  musician,  with  the  non-commissioned 
staff,  and  be  included  in  the  aggregate  in  all  regimental  returns. 

83.  "When  a  regiment  occupies  several  stations,  the  band  will  be  kept 
at  the  head-quarters,  provided  troops  (one  or  more  companies)  be  serving 
there.    The  field  music  belonging  to  companies  not  stationed  at  regimental 
head-quarters  will  not  be  separated  from  their  respective  companies. 

84.  No  man,  unless  he  be  a  carpenter,  joiner,  carriage-maker,  black- 
smith, saddler,  or  harness-maker,  will  be  mustered  as  an  "  artificer." 

85.  Every  article,  excepting  arms  and  accoutrements,  belonging  to  the 
regiment,  is  to  be  marked  with  the  number  and  name  of  the  regiment.

ARTICLE   XIII. 

COMPANIES. 

90.  The  captain  will  cause  the  men  of  the  company  to  be  numbered, 
in  a  regular  series,  including  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  divided 
into  four  squads,  each  to  be  put  under  the  charge  of  a  non-commissioned 
officer. 

91.  Each  subaltern  officer  will  be  charged  with  a  squad  for  the  super- 
vision of  its  order  and  cleanliness ;  and  captains  will  require  their  lieu- 
tenants to  assist  them  in  the  performance  of  all  company  duties. 

92.  As  far  as  practicable,  the  men  of  each  squad  will  be  quartered 
together. 

93.  The  utmost  attention  will  be  paid  by  commanders  of  companies  to 
the  cleanliness  of  their  men,  as  to  their  persons,  clothing,  arms,  accoutre- 
ments, and  equipments,  and  also  as  to  their  quarters  or  tents. 

94.  The  name  of  each  soldier  will  be  labeled  on  his  bunk,  and  his  com 
pany  number  will  be  placed  against  his  arms  and  accoutrements. 

95.  The  arms  will  be  placed  in  the  arm-racks,  the  stoppers  in  the 
muzzles,  the  cocks  let  down,  and  the  bayonets  in  their  scabbards ;  the 
accoutrements  suspended  over  the  arms,  and  the  swords  hung  up  by  the 
belts  on  pegs. 

96.  The  knapsack  of  each  man  will  be  placed  on  the  lower  shelf  of 
his  bunk,  at  its  foot,  packed  with  his  effects,  and  ready  to  be  slung ;  the 
great-coat  on  the  same  shelf,  rolled  and  strapped ;  the  coat,  folded  inside 
out,  and  placed  under  the  knapsack ;  the  cap  on  the  second  or  upper 
shelf;  and  the  boots  well  cleaned. 

97.  Dirty  clothes  will  be  kept  in  an  appropriate  part  of  the  knapsack ; 
no  article  of  any  kind  to  be  put  under  the  bedding. 

98.  Cooking  utensils  and  table  equipage  will  be  cleaned  and  arranged 
in  closets  or  recesses;  blacking  and  brushes  out  of  view;  the  fuel  in 
boxes. 

99.  Ordinarily  the  cleaning  will  be  on  Saturdays.      The  chiefs  of 
squads  will  cause  bunks  and  bedding  to  be  overhauled ;  floors  dry  rubbed; 
tables  and  benches  scoured ;  arms  cleaned ;  accoutrements  whitened  and 
polished,  and  every  thing  put  in  order. 

100.  "Where  conveniences  for  bathing  are  to  be  had,  the  men  should 
bathe  once  or  twice  a  week.     The  feet  to  be  washed  at  least  twice  a 
week.     The  hair  kept  short,  and  beard  neatly  trimmed. 

101.  Non-commissioned  officers,  in  command  of  squads,  will  be  held 
more  immediately  responsible  that  their  men  observe  what  is  prescribed 
above ;  that  they  wash  their  hands  and  faces  daily ;  that  they  brush  or

Companies. 


coinb  their  heads ;  that  those  who  are  to  go  on  duty  put  their  arms,  ac- 
coutrements, dress,  &c.,  in  the  best  order,  and  that  such  as  have  permis- 
sion to  pass  the  chain  of  sentinels  are  in  the  dress  that  may  be  ordered. 

102.  Commanders  of  companies  and  squads  will  see  that  the  arms  and 
accoutrements  in  possession  of  the  men  are  always  kept  in  good  order, 
and  that  proper  care  be  taken  in  cleaning  them. 

103.  When  belts  are  given  to  a  soldier,  the  captain  will  see  that  they 
are  properly  fitted  to  the  body;  and  it  is  forbidden  to  cut  any  belt  with- 
out his  sanction. 

104.  Cartridge-boxes   and   bayonet-scabbards   will   be   polished   with 
blacking;  varnish  is  injurious  to  the  leather,  and  will  not  be  used. 

105.  All  arms  in  the  hands  of  the  troops,  whether  browned  or  bright, 
will  be  kept  in  the  state  in  which  they  are  issued  by  the  Ordnance  De- 
partment.    Arms  will  not  be  taken  to  pieces  without  permission  of  a 
commissioned  officer.     Bright  barrels  will  be  kept  clean  and  free  from 
rust  without  polishing  them ;   care  should  be  taken  in  rubbing  not  to 
bruise  or  bend  the  barrel.     After  firing,  wash  out  the  bore ;  wipe  it  dry, 
and  then  pass  a  bit  of  cloth,  slightly  greased,  to  the  bottom.     In  these 
operations,  a  rod  of  wood  with  a  loop  in  one  end  is  to  be  used  instead  of 
the  rammer.     The  barrel,  when  not  in  use,  will  be  closed  with  a  stopper. 
For  exercise,  each  soldier  should  keep  himself  provided  with  a  piece  of 
sole  leather  to  fit  the  cup  or  countersink  of  the  hammer. 

(For  care  of  arms  in  service,  see  Ordnance  Manual,  page  185,  &c.) 

106.  Arms  shall  not  be  left  loaded  in  quarters  or  tents,  or  when  the 
men  are  off  duty,  except  by  special  orders. 

107.  Ammunition  issued  will  be  inspected  frequently.     Each  man  will 
be  made  to  pay  for  the  rounds  expended  without  orders,  or  not  in  the 
way  of  duty,  or  which  may  be  damaged  or  lost  by  his  neglect. 

108.  Ammunition  will  be  frequently  exposed  to  the  dry  air,  or  sunned. 

109.  Special  care  shall  be  taken  to  ascertain  that  no  ball-cartridges  are 
mixed  with  the  blank  cartridges  issued  to  the  men. 

110.  All  knapsacks  are  to  be  painted  black.     Those  for  the  artillery 
will  be  marked  in  the  centre  of  the  cover  with  the  number  of  the  regi-

soldier,  in  black  letters  and  figures.     And  each  soldier  must,  at  all  times, 
be  provided  with  a  haversack  and  canteen,  and  will  exhibit  them  at  all 
inspections.     It  will  be  worn  on  the  left  side  on  marches,  guard,  and 
when  paraded  for  detached  service — the  canteen  outside  the  haversack. 

113.  The  front  of  the  drums  will  be  painted  with  the  arms  of  the 
United  States,  on  a  blue  field  for  the  infantry,  and  on  a  red  field  for  the

116.  In  camp  or  barracks,  the  company  officers  must  visit  the  kitchen 
daily  and  inspect  the  kettles,  and  at  all  times  carefully  attend  to  the 
messing  and  economy  of  their  respective  companies.     The  commanding 
officer  of  the  post  or  regiment  will  make  frequent  inspections  of  the 
kitchens  and  messes.     These  duties  are  of  the  utmost  importance — not  to 
be  neglected.

120.  No  persons  will  be  allowed  to  visit  or  remain  in  the  kitchens,  ex- 
cept such  as  may  come  on  duty,  or  be  occupied  as  cooks.     The  kitchen 
should  always  be  under  the  particular  charge  of  a  non-commissioned 
officer. 

121.  Those  detailed  for  duty  in  the  kitchens  will  also  be  required  to 
keep  the  furniture  of  the  mess-room  in  order.

each  man,  to  be  carried  by  himself  on  the  march. 

123.  Tradesmen  may  be  relieved  from  ordinary  military  duty  to  make, 
to  alter,  or  to  mend  soldiers'  clothing,  &c.     Company  commanders  will

131.  The  Secretary  of  War  selects  from  the  sergeants  of  the  line  of 
the  army,  who  may  have  faithfully  served  eight  years  (four  years  in  the 
grade  of  non-commissioned  officer),  as  many  Ordnance  Sergeants  as  the 
service  may  require,  not  exceeding  one  to  each  military  post.

Inclosed  herewith  you  will  receive  the  report  of ,  the  officer  com- 
manding the  company  in  which  the  sergeant  has  been  serving,  to  which  I 
add  the  following  remarks  : 

,  Commanding  —  Regiment. 

133.  When  a  company  is  detached  from  the  head-quarters  of  the  regi- 
ment, the  reports  of  the  commanding  officer  in  this  matter  will  pass  to  the 
regimental  head-quarters  through  the  commanding  officer  of  the  post  or 
detachment,  and  be  accompanied  by  his  opinion  as  to  the  fitness  of  the 
candidate. 

134.  Ordnance  Sergeants  will  be  assigned  to  posts  when   appointed, 
and  are  not  to  be  transferred  to  other  stations  except  by  orders  from  the 
Adjutant-General's  office. 

135.  At  the  expiration  of  their  term  of  service,  Ordnance  Sergeants 
may  be  re-enlisted,  provided  they  shall  have  conducted  themselves  in  a 
becoming  manner,  and  performed  their  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
commanding  officer.     If  the  commanding  officer,  however,  shall  not  think 
pibper  to  re-enlist  the  Ordnance  Sergeant  of  his  post,  he  will  communi 


REVISED    REGULATIONS 


Ordnance  Sergeants. 


cate  to  the  Adjutant-General  his  reasons  for  declining  to  re-enlist  him,  in 
time  to  receive  the  decision  of  the  War  Department  before  the  Sergeant 
may  lawfully  claim  to  re-enlist. 

136.  The  officers  interested  must  be  aware,  from  the  nature  of  the  duties 
assigned  to  Ordnance  Sergeants,  that  the  judicious  selection  of  them  is 
of  no  small  importance^  to  the  interests  of  the  service;  and  that  while 
the    law  contemplates,  in  the   appointment  of  these   non-commissioned 
officers,  the  better  preservation  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores  in 
deposit  in  the  several  forts,  there  is  the  further  motive  of  offering  a  re- 
ward to  those  faithful  and  well-tried  sergeants  who  have  long  served  their 
country,  and  of  thus  giving  encouragement  to  the  soldier  in  the  ranks  to 
emulate   them   in    conduct,  and   thereby  secure   substantial   promotion. 
Colonels  and  Captains  cannot,  therefore,  be  too  particular  in  investigating 
the  characters  of  the  candidates,  and  in  giving  their  testimony  as  to  their 
merits. 

137.  The  appointment  and  removal  of  Ordnance  Sergeants,  stationed 
at  military  posts,  in  pursuance  of  the  above  provisions  of  law,  shall  be 
reported  by  the  Adjutant-General  to  the  chief  of  the  Ordnance  Depart- 
ment. 

138.  When  a  non-commissioned  officer   receives  the  appointment  of 
Ordnance  Sergeant,  he  shall:  be  dropped  from  the  rolls  of  the  regiment  or 
company  in  which  he  may  be  serving  at  the  time. 

139.  The  duty  of  Ordnance  Sergeants  relates  to  the  care  of  the  ord- 
nance, arms,  ammunition,  and  other  military  stores  at  the  post  to  which 
they  may  be  attached,  under  the  direction  of  the  commanding  officer, 
and  according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

140.  If  a  post  be  evacuated,  the  Ordnance  Sergeant  shall  remain  on 
duty  at  the  station,  under  the  direction  of  the  chief  of  the  Ordnance 
Department,  in  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  and  of  such 
other  public  property  as  is  not  in  charge  of  some   officer  or  agent  of 
other  departments;   for  which  ordnance  stores   and   other   property  he 
will  account  to  the  chiefs  of  the   proper   departments   until  otherwise 
directed. 

141.  An  Ordnance  Sergeant  in  charge  of  ordnance  stores  at  a  post 
where  there  is  no  commissioned  officer  sha1!  be  held  responsible  for  the 
safe-keeping  of  the  property,  and  he  shall  be  governed  by  the  regulations 
of  the  Ordnance  Department  in  making  issues  of  the  same,  and  in  pre- 
paring and  furnishing  the  requisite  returns.     If  the  means  at  his  dis- 
posal are  not  sufficient  for  the  preservation  of  the  property,  he  shall  re- 
port the  circumstances  to  the  chief  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

142.  Ordnance  Sergeants  are  to  be  considered  as  belonging  to  the  non 
commissioned  staff  of  the  post,  under   the   orders  of  the  commanding 


FOR   THE   ARMY.  27

officer.  They  are  to  wear  the  uniform  of  the  Ordnance  Department,  with 
the  distinctive  badges  prescribed  for  the  non-commissioned  staff  of 
regiments  of  artillery;  and  they  are  to  appear  under  arms  with  the 
troops  at  all  reviews  and  inspections,  monthly  and  weekly. 

143.  When  serving  at  any  post  which  may  be  the  head-quarters  of  a 
regiment,  Ordnance  Sergeants   shall  be  reported  by  name  on  the  post 
returns,  and  mustered  with  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment; 
and  at  all  oth*  r  posts  they  shall  be  mustered  and  reported  in  some  com- 
pany stationed  at  the  post  at  which  they  serve;  be  paid  on  the  muster- 
roll,  and  be  charged  with  the  clothing  and  all  other  supplies  previously 
received  from  any  officer,  or  subsequently  issued  to  them  by  the  com- 
manding officer  of  the  company  for  the  time  being.     Whenever  the  com- 
pany may  be  ordered  from   the  post,  the   Ordnance   Sergeant  will  be 
transferred  to  the  rolls  of  any  remaining  company,  by  the  order  of  the 
commanding  officer  of  the  post. 

144.  In  the  event  of  the  troops  being  all  withdrawn  from  a  post  at 
which  there  is  an  Ordnance   Sergeant,  he  shall  be  furnished  with  his 
descriptive  roll  and  account  of  clothing  and  pay,  signed  by  the  proper 
officer  last  in  command,  accompanied  by  the  remarks  necessary  for  his 
military  history ;  and  on  his  exhibiting  such  papers  to  any  Paymaster, 
with  a  letter  from  the  Ordnance  Office  acknowledging  the  receipt  of  his 
returns,  and  that   they  are   satisfactory,  he  will  be  paid  on  a  separate 
account  the  amount  which  may  be  due  him  at  the  date  of  the  receipt  of 
the   returns   mentioned   in  such   letter,  together  with   commutation  of 
rations,  according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Subsistence  Department.     A 
certified  statement  of  his  pay  account  will  be  furnished  the  Ordnance 
Sergeant  by  the  Paymaster  by  whom  he  may  be  last  paid.     When  there 
are  no  troops  at  the  post,  the  Ordnance  Sergeant  will  report  to  the  Adju- 
tant-General's office,  by  letter,  on  the  last  day  of  every  month. 

ARTICLE  XV. 

TRANSFER  OF   SOLDIERS. 

145.  No  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  will  be  transferred  from  one 
regiment  to  another  without  the  authority  of  the  commanding  general. 

146.  The  colonel  may,  upon  the  application  of  the  captains,  transfer 
a  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  from  one  company  to  another  of  his 
regiment — with  consent  of  the  department  commander  in  case  of  change 
of  post. 

147.  When  soldiers  are  authorized  to  be  transferred,  the  transfer  will 
take  place  on  the  first  of  a  month,  with  a  view  to  the  more  convenient 
settlement  of  their  accounts. 


28  REVISED    REGULATIONS 


Deceased  Officers  and  Soldiers. 


148.  In  all  cases  of  transfer,  a  complete  descriptive  roll  will  accompany 
the  soldier  transferred,  which  roll  will  embrace  an  account  of  his  pay, 
clothing,  and  other  allowances ;  also,  all  stoppages  to  be  made  on  account 
of  the  government,  and  debts  due  the  laundress,  as  well  as  such  other 
facts  as  may  be  necessary  to  show  his  character  and  military  history. 

ARTICLE  XVI. 

DECEASED   OFFICERS, 

149.  Whenever  an  officer   dies,  or  is  killed  at  any  military  post  or

manding officer  to  report  the  fact  direct  to  the  Adjutant-General,  with 
the  date,  and  any  other  information  proper  to  be  communicated.     If  an

gence of  the  same  will  in  like  manner  communicate  it,  specifying  the

ment.    Final   statements  of  pay,  clothing,  &c.,  will  be  sent  with   the 
inventories.     When  a  soldier  dies  at  a  post  or  station  absent  from  hi?

,  of  the regiment  of ,  having  applied  for  a 

certificate  on  which  to  ground  an  application  for  leave  of  absence,  I  do 
hereby  certify  that  I  have  carefully  examined  this  officer,  and  find  that  — 
[Here  the  nature  of  the  disease,  wound,  or  disability  is  to  be  fully  stated, 
and  the  period  during  which  the  officer  has  suffered  under  its  effects.] 
And  that,  dn  consequence  thereof,  he  is,  in  my  opinion,  unfit  for  duty.  1 
further  declare  my  belief  that  he  will  not  be  able  to  resume  his  duties  in 

a  less  period  than [Here  state  candidly  and  explicitly  the  opinion 

as  to  the  period  which  will  probably  elapse  before  the  officer  will  be  able 
to  resume  his  duties.  When  there  is  no  reason  to  expect  a  recovery,  or 
when  the  prospect  of  recovery  is  distant  and  uncertain,  or  when  a  change 

of  climate  is  recommended,  it  must  be  so  stated.]     Dated  at  , 

this day  of . 

Signature  of  the  Medical  Officer.

officers  to  go  beyond  the  limits  of  the  Military  Department  within  which 
they  are  stationed,  unless  the  certificate  of  the  medical  officer  shall  ex- 
plicitly state  that  a  greater  change  is  necessary  to  save  life,  or  prevent 
permanent  disability.     Nor  will  sick  leaves  to  go  beyond  the  Department 
limits  be  given  in  any  case,  except  of  immediate  urgency,  without  the 
previous  sanction  of  the  War  Department. 

187.  On  the  expiration  of  a  leave  of  absence  given  on  account  of  sick- 
ness, if  the  officer  be  able  to  travel,  he  will  forthwith  proceed  to  his  post, 
although  his  disability  may  not  have  been  removed.     Exceptions  to  this 
general  rule  must  be  made  in  each  case  by  the  War  Department  on  full 
and  explicit  medical  certificates  setting  forth  the  reasons  for  delay  and 
the  length  of  time  delay  is  considered  necessary. 

188.  When  an  officer  is  prevented  by  sickness  from  joining  his  station, 
he  will  transmit  certificates  in  the  above  form  monthly,  to  the  command- 
ing officer  of  his  post  and  regiment  or  corps,  and  to  the  Adjutant-Gene- 
ral ;  and  when  he  cannot  procure  the  certificates  of  a  medical  officer  of 
the  army,  he  will  substitute  his  own  certificate  on  honor  to  his  condition, 
and  a  full  statement  of  his  case.     If  the  officer's  certificate  is  not  satis- 
factory, and  whenever  an  officer  has  been  absent  on  account  of  sickness 
for  one  year,  he  shall  be  examined  by  a  medical  board,  and  the  case 
specially  reported  to  the  President.

spare  building,  the  use  of  it  may  be  allowed  him,  he  being  responsible 
that  it  is  kept  in  repair.     If  there  be  no  such  building,  he  may  be  allowed 
to  erect  one;  but  this  article  gives  the  Sutler  no  claim  to  quarters,  trans- 
portation for  himself  or  goods,  or  to  any  military  allowance  whatever.

from  the  point  where  he  is  expected  to  be  received,  as,  for  instance,  where

307.  The  battalion  being  in  the  order  of  battle,  the  Colonel  will  cause 
it  to  break  into  open  column  of  companies,  right  in  front.     He  will  next 
order  the  ranks  to  be  opened,  when  the  color-rank  and  color-guard,  under

The  commissioned  officers  thus  designated  will  form  themselves  in  one 
rank,  on  a  line  equal  to  the  front  of  the  column,  six  paces  in  front  of  the 
colors,  from  right  to  left,  in  the  order  of  seniority;  and  the  non-commis- 
sioned staff,  in  a  similar  manner,  two  paces  in  rear  of  the  preceding  rank. 
The  Colonel,  seeing  the  movement  executed,  will  take  post  on  the  right 
of  the  Lieutenant-Colonel,  and  wait  the  approach  of  the  inspecting  officer 
But  such  of  the  field  officers  as  may  be  superior  in  rank  to  the  Inspector 
will  not  take  post  in  front  of  the  battalion. 

310.  The  Inspector  will  commence  in  front.     After  inspecting  the 
dress  and  general  appearance  of  the  field  and  commissioned  staff  under 
arms,  the  Inspector,  accompanied  by  these  officers,  will  pass  down  the 
open  column,  looking  at  every  rank  in  front  and  rear. 

311.  The  Colonel  will  now  command, 

1.  Order  Arms.     2.  REST  ! 

when  the  Inspector  will  proceed  to  make  a  minute  inspection  of  the 
several  ranks  or  divisions,  in  succession,  commencing  in  front. 

312.  As  the  Inspector  approaches  the  non-commissioned  staff,  color- 
tank,  the  color-guard,  and  the  band,  the  Adjutant  will  give  the  necessary 
orders  for  the  inspection  of  arms,  boxes,  and  knapsacks.     The  colors  will 
be  planted  firm  in  the  ground,  to  enable  the  color-bearers  to  display  the 
contents  of  their  knapsacks.     The  non-commissioned  staff  may  be  dis- 
missed as  soon  as  inspected;   but  the   color-rank   and   color-guard  will 
remain  until  the  colors  are  to  be  escorted  to  the  plaoe  from  which  they 
were  taken. 

313.  As  the  Inspector  successively  approaches  the  companies,  the  Cap- 
tains will  command, 

1.  Attention.     2.  Company.     3.  Inspection — ABMS! 

The  inspecting  officer  will  then  go  through  the  whole  company,  and 
minutely  inspect  the  arms,  accoutrements,  and  dress  of  each  soldier. 
After  this  is  done,  the  Captain  will  command, 

Open — BOXES  ! 

when  the  ammunition  and  the  boxes  will  be  examined.

<ipon  the  centre  at  the  3d,  and  stack  their  arms  at  the  5th  command;  at 
the  6th  command  they  face  outward,  and  resume  their  positions  at  the 
7th.     When  the  ranks  are  closed,  preparatory  to  take  arms,  the  Sergeants 
will  also  close  upon  the  centre,  and  at  the  word,  take  their  arms  and 
resume  their  places. 

316.  The  knapsacks  will  be  placed  at  the  feet  of  the  men,  the  flaps 
from  them,  with  the  great-coats  on  the  flaps,  and  the  knapsacks  leaning 
on  the  great-coats.     In  this  position  the  Inspector  will  examine  their 
contents,  or  so  many  of  them  as  he  may  think  necessary,  commencing 
with  the  non-commissioned  officers,  the  men  standing  at  attention. 

317.  When  the  Inspector  has  passed  through  the  company,  the  Cap- 
tain will  command, 

Repack — Knapsacks  ; 

when  each  soldier  will  repack  and  buckle  up  his  knapsack,  leaving  it  on 
the  ground,  the  number  upward,  turned  from  him,  and  then  stand  at  rest. 

318.  The  Captain  will  then  command, 

1.  Attention.     2.  Company.     3.  Sling — Knapsacks. 

At  the  word  sling,  each  soldier  will  take  his  knapsack,  holding  it  by  the 
inner  straps,  and  stand  erect;  at  the  last  word  he  will  replace  it  on  his 
back.  The  Captain  will  continue,

and  will  cause  the  company  to  file  off"  to  their  tents  or  quarters,  except 
the  company  that  is  to  re-escort  the  colors,  which  will  await  the  further 
orders  of  the  Colonel. 

319.  In  an  extensive  column,  some  of  the  rearmost  companies  may, 
after  the  inspection  of  dress  and  general  appearance,  be  permitted  to  stack 
arms  until  just  before  the  Inspector  approaches  them,  when  they  will  be 
directed  to  take  arms  and  resume  their  position. 

320.  The  inspection  of  the  troops  being  ended,  the  field  and  staff  will

next  accompany  the  Inspector  to  the  hospital,  magazine,  arsenal,  quarters, 
sutler's  shop,  guard-house,  and  such  other  places  as  he  may  think  proper 
to  inspect.  The  Captains  and  subalterns  repair  to  their  companies  and 
sections  to  await  the  Inspector. 

321.  The  hospital  being  at  all  times  an  object  of  particular  interest,  it 
will  be  critically  and  minutely  inspected. 

322.  The  men  will  be  formed  in  the  company  quarters  in  front  of  their 
respective  bunks,  and  on  the  entrance  of  the  Inspector  the  word  Atten- 
tion I  will  be  given  by  the  senior  non-commissioned  officer  present,  when 
Ibe  whole  will  salute  with  the  hand,  without  uncovering. 

323.  The  Inspector,  attended  by  the  company  officers,  will  examine  the 
general  arrangement  of  the  interior  of  the  quarters,  the  bunks,  bedding, 
cooking  and  table  utensils,  and  such  other  objects  as  may  present  them- 
selves ;  and  afterward  the  exterior. 

324.  The  Adjutant  will  exhibit  to  the  Inspector  the  regimental  books 
and  papers,  including  those  relating  to  the  transactions  of  the  Council  of 
Administration.     The  company  books  and  papers  will  also  be  exhibited, 
the  whole  together,  generally  at  the  Adjutant's  office,  and  in  the  presence 
of  the  officers  not  otherwise  particularly  engaged. 

325.  The  Inspector  will  examine  critically  the  books  and  accounts  of 
the  administrative  and  disbursing  officers  of  the  command,  and  the  money 
and  property  in  their  keeping. 

326.  The  inspection  of  cavalry  and  artillery  will  conform  to  the  prin- 
ciples laid  down  in  the  foregoing  paragraphs,  regard  being  had  to  the 
system  of  instruction  for  those  arms  of  service  respectively. 

ARTICLE    XXXI. 

MUSTEES. 

827.  Troops  will  be  mustered  for  pay  on  the  last  day  of  February, 
April,  June,  August,  October,  and  December.  The  musters  will  be  made 
by  an  Inspector-General,  if  present,  otherwise  by  an  officer  specially  desig- 
nated by  the  Commander  of  the  Army,  Division,  or  Department;  and  in 
absence  of  either  an  Inspector-General  or  officer  specially  designated,  the 
muster  will  be  made  by  the  commander  of  the  post. 

328.  When  one  inspecting  officer  cannot  muster  all  the  troops  himself 
on  the  day  specified,  the  commanding  officer  will  designate  such  other 
competent  officers  as  may  be  necessary,  to  assist  him. 

329.  All  stated  musters  of  the  troops  shall  be  preceded  by  a  minute 
and  careful  inspection  in  the  prescribed  mode ;  and  if  the  command  be  of 
more  than  a  company,  by  a  review,  before  inspection. 

330.  The  mustering  officer  having  inspected  the  companies  in  succession,

Forms  of  Parade. 


beginning  on  the  right,  returns  to  the  first  company  to  muster  it.  The 
company  being  at  ordered  arms,  with  open  ranks,  as  when  inspected,  the 
Captain  will,  as  the  mustering  officer  approaches,  command, 

1.  Attention.    2.  Company!     3.  Shoulder — \RMS!    ^.Support — ARMS  I 

The  mustering  officer  will  then  call  over  the  names  on  the  roll,  and 
each  man,  as  his  name  is  called,  will  distinctly  answer,  Here!  and  bring 
bis  piece  to  a  carry  and  to  an  order. 

831.  After  each  company  is  mustered,  the  Captain  will  order  it  to  be 
inarched  to  the  company  parade,  and  there  dismissed  to  quarters  to  await 
the  Inspector's  visit. 

332.  After  mustering  the  companies,  the  mustering  officer,  attended 
by  the  company  commanders,  will  visit  the  guard  and  hospital,  to  verify 
the  presence  of  the  men  reported  there. 

333.  The  muster  and  pay  rolls  will  be  made  on  the  printed  forms  fur- 
nished from  the  Adjutant-General's  office,  and  according  to  the  direc-

the  name  of  the  Captain,  whether  present  or  absent.     The  pay-roll  is  left 
blank,  to  be  filled  by  the  Paymaster. 

334.  One  copy  of  each  muster-roll  will  be  transmitted  by  the  mustering 
officer  to  the  Adjutant-General's  office  in  the  War  Department  within

ARTICLE   XXXII. 

FORMS    OF    PARADE. 

335.  On  all  parades  of  ceremony,  such  as  Reviews,  Guard-mounting, 
ai   Troop  or  Retreat  parades,  instead  of  the  word  "Rest"  which  allows 
the  men  to  move  or  change  the  position  of  their  bodies,  the  command 
will  be  "  PARADE — REST  !"     At  the  last  word  of  this  command,  the 
soldier  will  carry  the  right  foot  six  inches  in  rear  of  the  left  heel,  the 
left  knee  slightly  bent,  the  body  upright  upon  the  right  leg;  the  musket 
resting  against  the  hollow  of  the  right  shoulder,  the  hands  crossed  in 
front,  the  backs  of  them  outward,  and  the  left  hand  uppermost.     At  the 
word  "  ATTENTION  !"    the   soldier  will  resume  the  correct  position  at 
ordered  arms.     In  the  positions  here  indicated,  the  soldier  will  remain 
silent  and  motionless;  and  it  is  particularly  enjoined  upon  all  officers  to 
cause  the  commands  above  given,  on  the  part  of  the  soldier,  to  be  exe- 
cuted with  great  briskness  and  spirit. 

336.  Officers  on  all  duties  under  arms  are  to  have  their  swords  drawn, 
without  waiting  for  any  woris  of  command  for  that  purpose

Dress  Parade. 


I.    DRESS   PARADE. 

387.  There  shall  be  daily  one  dress  parade,  at  troop  or  retreat,  as  the 
commanding  officer  may  direct. 

338.  A  signal  will  be  beat  or  sounded  half  an  hour  before  troop  or 
retreat,  for  the  music  to  assemble  on  the  regimental  parade,  and  each 
company  to  turn  out  under  arms  on  its  own  parade,  for  roll-call  and 
inspection  by  its  own  officers. 

339.  Ten  minutes  after  that  signal,  the  Adjutants  call  will  be  given, 
when  the  Captains  will  march  their  companies  (the  band  playing)  to  the 
regimental  parade,  where  they  take  their  positions  in  the  order  of  battle. 
When  the  line  is  formed,  the  Captain  of  the  first  company,  on  notice 
from  the  Adjutant,  steps  one  pace  to  the  front,  and  gives  to  his  company 
the  command,  "  Order — ARMS  !     PARADE — REST  I"  which  is  repeated 
by  each  Captain  in  succession  to  the  left.     The  Adjutant  takes  post  two 
paces  on  the  right  of  the  line;  the  Sergeant-major  two  paces  on  the  left. 
The  music  will  be  formed  in  two  ranks  on  the  right  of  the  Adjutant. 
The  senior  officer  present  will    take  the   command  of  the  parade,  and 
will  take  post  at  a  suitable  distance  in  front,  opposite  the  centre,  facing 
the  line. 

340.  When  the  companies  have  ordered  arms,  the  Adjutant  will  order 
the  music  to  beat  off,  when  it  will  commence  on  the  right,  beat  in  front 
of  the  line  to  the  left,  and  back  to  its  place  on  the  right. 

341.  When  the  music  has  ceased,  the  Adjutant  will  step  two  paces  tc 
the  front,  face  to  the  left,  and  command, 

1.  Attention!     2.  Battalion.     3.  Shoulder — ARMS!     4.  Prepare  to  open 
ranks  !     5.  To  the  rear,  open  order  !     6.  MARCH  ! 

At  the  sixth  command,  the  ranks  will  be  opened  according  to  the  system 
laid  down  in  the  Infantry  Tactics,  the  commissioned  officers  marching  to 
the  front,  the  company  officers  four  paoes,  field  officers  six  paces,  opposite 
to  their  positions  in  the  order  of  battle,  where  they  will  halt  and  dress. 
The  Adjutant,  seeing  the  ranks  aligned,  will  command, 

FRONT ! 

and  march  along  the  front  to  the  centre,  face  to  ths  right,  and  pass  the 
line  of  company  officers  eight  or  tec  paces,  where  he  will  come  to  the 
right-about,  and  command, 

Present — ARMS  ! 
when  arms  will  be  presented,  officers  saluting.

Dress  Parade. 


342.  Seeing  this  executed,  lie  will  face  about  to  the  commanding 
officer,  salute,  and  report,  "  Sir,  the  parade  is  formed."  The  Adjutant 
will  then,  on  intimation  to  that  effect,  take  his  station  three  pace? 
on  the  left  of  the  commanding  officer,  one  pace  retired,  passing  roun^ 
iis  rear. 

843.  The  commanding  officer,  having  acknowledged  the  salute  of  thf 
line  by  touching  his  hat,  will,  after  the  Adjutant  has  taken  his  pos* 
draw  his  sword,  and  command, 

1.  Battalion.      2.  Shoulder — ARMS  ! 

and  add  such  exercises  as  he  may  think  proper,  concluding  with 

Order — ARMS  ! 

then  return  his  sword,  and  direct  the  Adjutant  to  receive  the  reports. 

344.  The  Adjutant  will  now  pass  round  the  right  of  the  commanding 
officer,  advance  upon  the  line,  halt  midway  between  him  and  the  line  of 
company  officers,  and  command, 

1.  .First  Sergeants,  to  the  front  and  centre.     2.  MARCH! 

At  the  first  command,  they  will  shoulder  arms  as  Sergeants,  march  two 
paces  to  the  front,  and  face  inward.  At  the  second  command,  they  will 
march  to  the  centre,  and  halt.  The  Adjutant  will  then  order, 

1.  Front— FACE.     2.  Report. 

At  the  last  word,  each  in  succession,  beginning  on  the  right,  will  salute 
by  bringing  the  left  hand  smartly  across  the  breast  to  the  right  shoulder, 
and  report  the  result  of  the  roll-call  previously  made  on  the  company 
parade. 

345.  The  Adjutant  again  commands, 

1.  First  Sergeants ,  outward — FACE  !     2.  To  your  posts — MARCH  ! 

when  they  will  resume  their  places,  and  order  arms.  The  Adjutant  will 
now  face  to  the  commanding  officer,  salute,  report  absent  officers,  and 
give  the  result  of  the  First  Sergeants'  reports.  The  commanding  officer 
•will  next  direct  the  orders  to  be  read,  when  the  Adjutant  will  face  about 
and  announce, 

Attention  to  Orders. 

He  will  then  read  the  orders.

Dress  Parade.— Review. 


346.  The  orders  having  been  read,  the  Adjutant  will  face  to  the  com- 
manding officer,  salute,  and  report;  when,  on  an  intimation  from  the 
commander,  he  will  face  again  to  the  line,  and  announce, 

[Parade  is  dismissed. 
All  the  officers  will  now  return  their  swords,  face  inward,  and  close  on 
the  Adjutant,  he  having  taken  position  in  their  line,  the  field  officers  on 
the  flanks.     The  Adjutant  commands, 

1.  Front— FACE  !     2.  Forward—  MARCH  ! 

when  they  will  march  forward,  dressing  on  the  centre,  the  music  playing, 
and  when  within  six  paces  of  the  commander,  the  Adjutant  will  give  the 
word, 

Halt! 

The  officers  will  then  salute  the  commanding  officer  by  raising  the  hand 
to  the  cap,  and  there  remain  until  he  shall  have  communicated  to  them 
such  instructions  as  he  may  have  to  give,  or  intimates  that  the  ceremony 
.  is  finished.  As  the  officers  disperse,  the  First  Sergeants  will  close  the 
ranks  of  their  respective  companies,  and  march  them  to  the  company 
parades,  where  they  will  be  dismissed,  the  band  continuing  to  play  until 
the  companies  clear  the  regimental  parade. 

347.  All  field  and  company  officers  and  men  will  be  present  at  dress 
parades,  unless  especially  excused,  or  on  some  duty  incompatible  with 
such  attendance. 

348.  A  dress  parade  once  a  day  will  not  be  dispensed  with,  except  on 
extraordinary  and  urgent  occasions. 

II.    REVIEW   OF   A   BATTALION   OP   INFANTRY. 

349.  Preparatory  to  a  review,  the  Adjutant  will  cause  a  camp-color  to 
be  placed  80  or  100  paces,  or  more,  according  to  the  length  of  the  line, 
in  front  of,  and  opposite  to,  where  the  centre  of  the  battalion  will  rest, 
where  the  reviewing  officer  is  supposed  to  take  his  station ;  and,  although 
he  may  choose  to  quit  that  position,  still  the  color  is  to  be  considered  as 
the  point  to  which  all  the  movements  and  formations  are  relative. 

350.  The  Adjutant  will  also  cause  points  to  be  marked,  at  suitable 
distances,  for  the  wheelings  of  the  divisions ;;  so  that  their  right  flanks, 
in  marching  past,  shall  only  be  about  four  paces  from  the  camp-color, 
where  it  is  supposed  the  reviewing  officer  places  himself  to  receive  the 
salute.

other,  and  three  paces  on  the  right  of  the  front  rank  of  the  battalion. 

352.  When  the  ranks  are  aligned,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

FRONT ! 

andxplace  himself  eight  paces,  and  the  Lieutenant-Colonel  and  Major  will 
place  themselves  two  paces,  in  front  of  the  rank  of  company  officers,  and 
opposite  to  their  respective  places  in  the  order  of  battle,  all  facing  to  the 
front. 

353.  When  the  reviewing  officer  presents  himself  before  the  centre, 
and  is  fifty  or  sixty  paces  distant,  the  Colonel  will  face  about,  and  com- 
mand, 

Present — ARMS  ! 

and  resume  his  front.  The  men  present  arms,  and  the  officers  salute,  so 
as  to  drop  their  swords  with  the  last  motion  of  the  firelock.  The  non- 
commissioned staff  salute  by  bringing  the  sword  to  a  poise,  the  hilt  rest- 
ing on  the  breast,  the  blade  in  front  of  the  face,  inclining  a  little  outward. 
The  music  will  play,  and  all  the  drums  beat,  according  to  the  rank  of  the 
reviewing  officer.  The  colors  only  salute  such  persons  as,  from  their  rank 
and  by  regulation  (see  Article  XXIX.),  are  entitled  to  that  honor.  If 
the  reviewing  officer  be  junior  in  rank  to  the  commandant  of  the  parade, 
no  compliment  will  be  paid  to  him,  but  he  will  be  received  with  arms 
carried,  and  the  officers  will  not  salute  as  the  column  passes  in  review. 

354.  The  reviewing  officer  having  halted,  and  acknowledged  the  salute 
of  the  line  by  touching  or  raising  his  cap  or  hat,  the  Colonel  will  face 
about  and  command, 

Shoulder — ARMS  ! 

when  the  men  shoulder  their  pieces;  the  officers  and  non-commissioned  staff 
recover  their  swords  with  the  last  motion,  and  the  Colonel  faces  to  the  front.

Review. 


355.  The  reviewing  officer  will  then  go  toward  the  right,  the  whole  re- 
maining perfectly  steady,  without  paying  any  further  compliment,  while 
he  passes  along  the  front  of  the  battalion,  and  proceeds  round  the  left 
flank,  and  along  the  rear  of  the  file-closers,  to  the  right.  While  the  re- 
viewing officer  is  going  round  the  battalion,  the  band  will  play,  and  will 
cease  when  he  has  returned  to  the  right  flank  of  the  troops. 

856.  When  the  reviewing  officer  turns  off,  to  place  himself  by  the 
camp-color  in  front,  the  Colonel  will  face  to  the  line  and  command, 

1.  Close  Order.     2.  MARCH! 

At  the  first  command,  the  field  and  company  officers  will  face  to  the 
right-about,  and  at  the  second  command,  all  persons,  except  the  Colonel, 
will  resume  their  places  in  the  order  of  battle;  the  field  and  staff  officers 
mount. 

357.  The  reviewing  officer  having  taken  his  position  near  the  camp- 
color,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

1.  By  company,  right  wheel.     2.    QuicJc — MARCH!     3.  Pass  in  review 
4.  Column, forward.     5.  Guide  right.     6.  MARCH! 

The  battalion,  in  column  of  companies,  right  in  front,  will  then,  in 
common  time,  and  at  shouldered  arms,  be  put  in  motion ;  the  Colonel  four 
paces  in  front  of  the  Captain  of  the  leading  company;  the  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  on  a  line  with  the  leading  company ;  the  Major  on  a  line  with  the 
rear  company;  the  Adjutant  on  a  line  with  the  second  company;  the 
Sergeant-Major  on  a  line  with  the  company  next  preceding  the  rear — each 
six  paces  from  the  flank  (left)  opposite  to  the  reviewing  officer ;  the  staff 
officers  in  one  rank,  according  to  the  order  of  precedency,  from  the  right, 
four  paces  in  rear  of  the  column ;  the  music,  preceded  by  the  princi- 
pal musician,  six  paces  before  the  Colonel ;  the  pioneers,  preceded  by  a 
Corporal,  four  paces  before  the  principal  musician ;  and  the  Quartermaster- 
Sergeant  two  paces  from  the  side  opposite  to  the  guides,  and  in  line  with 
the  pioneers. 

358.  All  other  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  will  march  past 
in  the  places  prescribed  for  them  in  the  march  of  an  open  column.     The 
guides  and  soldiers  will  keep  their  heads  steady  to  the  front  in  passing  in 
review. 

359.  The    color-bearer  will  remair   in   the   ranks  while  passing  and 
saluting. 

360.  The  music  will  begin  to  play  nt  the  command  to  march,  and  after 
passing  the  reviewing  officer,  wheel  to  the  left  out  of  the  column,  and 


66  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Eeview, 

take  a  position  opposite  and  facing  him,  and  will  continue  to  play  until 
the  rear  of  the  column  shall  have  passed  him,  when  it  will  cease,  and 
follow  in  the  rear  of  the  battalion,  unless  the  battalion  is  to  pass  in  quick 
time  also,  in  which  case  it  will  keep  its  position. 

361.  The  officers  will  salute  the  reviewing  officer  when  they  arrive 
within  six  paces  of  him,  and  recover  their  swords  when  six  paces  past 
him.     All  officers,  in  saluting,  will  cast  their  eyes  toward  the  reviewing 
officer. 

362.  The  Colonel,  when  he  has  saluted  at  the  head  of  the  battalion, 
will  place  himself  near  the  reviewing  officer,  and  will  remain  there  until 
the  rear  has  passed,  when  he  will  rejoin  the  battalion. 

363.  The  colors  will  salute  the  reviewing  officer,  if  entitled  to  it,  when 
within  six  paces  of  him,  and  be  raised  when  they  have  passed  by  him 
an  equal  distance.     The  drums  will  beat  a  march,  or  ruffle,  according 
to  the  rank  of  the  reviewing  officer,  at  the  same  time  that  the  colors 
salute. 

364.  When  the  column  has  passed  the  reviewing  officer,  the  Colonel 
will  direct  it  to  the  ground  it  marched  from,  and  command, 

Guide  left} 

in  time  for  the  guides  to  cover.  The  column  having  arrived  on  its 
ground,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

1.   Column.     2.  HALT! 

form  it  in  order  of  battle,  and  cause  the  ranks  to  be  opened  as  in  para- 
graph 351.  The  review  will  terminate  by  the  whole  saluting  as  at  the 
beginning. 

365.  If,  however,  instructions  have  been  previously  given  to  march  the 
troops  past  in  quick  time  also,  tie  Colonel  will,  instead  of  changing  the 
guides,  halting  the  column,  and  wheeling  it  into  line,  as  above  directed, 
give  the  command, 

1.   Quick  time.     2.  MARCH! 

In  passing  the  reviewing  officer  Again,  no  salute  will  be  offered  by  either 
officers  or  men.  The  music  will  have  kept  its  position  opposite  the  review- 
ing officer,  and  at  the  last  command  will  commence  playing,  and  as  the 
column  approaches,  will  place  itself  in  front  of,  and  march  off  with  the 
column,  and  continue  to  play  until  the  battalion  is  halted  on  its  original 
ground  of  formation.  The  Revitw  will  terminate  in  the  same  manner  as 
prescribed  above.

Review. 


366.  The  Colonel  will  afterward  cause  the  troops    to  perform   such 
exercises  and  mano3uvres  as  the  reviewing  officer  may  direct. 

367.  When  two  or  more  battalions  are  to  be  reviewed,  they  will  be 
formed  in  parade  order,  with  the  proper  intervals,  and  will  also  perform 
the  same  movements  that  are  laid  down  for  a  single  battalion,  observing 
the  additional  directions  that  are  given  for  such  movements  when  applied 
to  the  line.     The  Brigadier-General  and  his  staff,  on  foot,  will  place  them- 
selves opposite  the  centre  of  the  brigade ;  the  Brigadier-General  two  paces 
in  front  of  the  rank  of  Colonels ;  his  aid  two  paces  on  his  right,  and  one 
retired ;  and  the  other  brigade  staff  officers,  those  having  the  rank  of  field 
officers,  in  the  rank  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and  Majors;  and  those  below 
that  rank,  in  the  rank  of  company  officers. 

368.  In  passing  in  review,  a  Major-General  will  be  four  paces  in  front 
of  the  Colonel  of  the  leading  battalion  of  his  division;  and  the  Brigadier- 
General  will  be  on  the  right  of  the  Colonels  of  the  leading  battalions  of 
their  brigades ;  staff  officers  on  the  left  of  their  Generals. 

369.  When  the  line  exceeds  two  battalions,  the  reviewing  officer  may 
cause  them  to  march  past  in  quick  time  only.     In  such  cases  the  mounted 
officers  only  will  salute. 

370.  A  number  of  companies  less  than  a  battalion  will  be  reviewed  as 
a  battalion,  and  a  single  company  as  if  it  were  with  the  battalion.     In  the 
latter  case,  the  company  may  pass  in  column  of  platoons. 

371.  If  several  brigades  are  to  be  reviewed  together,  or  in  one  line, 
this  further  difference  will  be  observed :  the  reviewing  personage,  joined 
by  the  General  of  the  division,  on  the  right  of  his  division,  will  proceed 
down  the  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  when  near  the  Brigadier-Generals 
respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  their  brigades  in  succession.     The  music 
of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  play  while  the  reviewing  person 
age  is  in  front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  only  then. 

372.  In  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time, 
the  music  of  each  succeeding  battalion  will  commence  to  play  when  the 
music  of  the  preceding  one  has  ceased,  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion. 
When  marching  in  quick  time,  the  music  will  begin  to  play  when  the 
rear   company   of    the    preceding    battalion    has   passed   the   reviewing 
officer. 

373.  The  reviewing  t  fficer  or  personage  will  acknowledge  the  salute  by 
raising,  or  taking  off,  his  cap  or  hat,  when  the  commander  of  the  troops 
salutes  him;  and  also  when  the  colors  pass.     The  remainder  of  the  time 
occupied  by  the  passage  of  the  troops  he  will  be  covered. 

374.  The  review  of  Cavalry  and  Artillery  will  be  conducted  on  similar 
principles,  and  according  to  the  systems  of  instruction  for  those  arms  of 
aervico.

Guard-Mounting. 


III.    GUARD-MOUNTING. 

375.  Camp  and   garrison  guards  will   be  relieved   every  twenty-four 
hours.     The  guards  at  outposts  will  ordinarily  be  relieved  in  the  same 
manner,  but  this  must  depend  on  their  distances  from  camp,  or  other 
circumstances,  which  may  sometimes  require  their  continuing  on  duty 
several  days.     In  such  cases,  they  must  be  previously  warned  to  provide 
themselves  accordingly. 

376.  At  the  first  call  for  guard-mounting,  the  men  warned  for  duty  turn 
out  on  their  company  parades  for  inspection  by  the  First  Sergeants;  and 
at  the  second  call,  repair  to  the  regimental  or  garrison  parade,  conducted 
by  the  First  Sergeants.     Each  detachment,  as  it  arrives,  will,  under  the 
direction  of  the  Adjutant,  take  post  on  the  left  of  the  one  that  preceded  it, 
in  open  order,  arms  shouldered,  and  bayonets  fixed ;  the  supernumeraries 
five  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  men  of  their  respective  companies;  the  First 
Sergeants  in  rear  of  them.     The  Sergeant-Major  will  dress  the  ranks, 
count  the  files,  verify  the  details,  and  when  the  guard  is  formed,  report  to 
the  Adjutant,  and  take  post  two  paces  on  the  left  of  the  front  rank. 

377.  The  Adjutant  then  commands  Front,  when  the  officer  of  the  guard 
takes  post  twelve  paces  in  front  of  the  centre,  the  Sergeants  in  one  rank, 
four  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  officers;  and  the  Corporals  in  one  rank,  four 
paces  in  the  rear  of  the  Sergeants — all  facing  to  the  front.     The  Adju- 
tant then  assigns  their  places  in  the  guard. 

378.  The  Adjutant  will  then  command, 

1.   Officer  and  non-commissioned  officers.     2.  ABOUT — FACE. 
3.  Inspect  your  guards — MARCH  ! 

The  non-commissioned  officers  then  take  their  posts.     The  commander 
of  the  guard  then  commands, 

1.    Order — ARMS.      2.  Inspection — ARMS. 

and  inspects  his  guard.     When  there  is  no  commissioned  officer  on  the 
guard,  the  Adjutant  will  inspect  it.     During  inspection  the  band  will  play. 

379.  The  inspection  ended,  the  officer  of  the  guard  takes  post  as  though 
the  guard  were  a  company  of  a  battalion,  in  open  order,  under  review;  at 
the  same  time,  also,  the  officers  of  the  day  will  take  post  in  front  of  the 
centre  of  the  guard;  the  old  officer  of  the  day  three  paces  on  the  right 
of  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  one  pace  retired. 

380.  The  Adjutant  will  now  command, 


FOR   THE  ARMY.  59 


Guard-Mounting. 


1.  Parade — REST!     2.    Troop — Beat  off  I 

when  the  music,  beginning  on  the  right,  will  beat  down  the  line  in  front 
of  the  officer  of  the  guard  to  the  left,  and  back  to  its  place  on  the  right, 
where  it  will  cease  to  play. 

SSL  The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

1.  Attention!     2.  Shoulder — ARMS!     3.   Close  order — MARCH l 

At  the  word  "close  order,"  the  officer  will  face  about;  at  "march,"  resume 
his  post  in  line.  The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

Present — ARMS  ! 

At  which  he  will  face  to  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  salute,  and  report, 
"Sir,  the  guard  is  formed."  The  new  officer  of  the  day,  after  acknow- 
ledging the  salute,  will  direct  the  Adjutant  to  march  the  guard  in  review, 
or  by  flank  to  its  post.  But  if  the  Adjutant  be  senior  to  the  officer  of 
the  day,  he  will  report  without  saluting  with  the  sword  then,  or  when 
marching  the  guard  in  review. 

382.  In  review,  the  guard  march  past  the  officer  of  the  day,  according 
to  the  order  of  review,  conducted  by  the  Adjutant,  marching  on  the  left 
of  the  first  division;  the  Sergeant-Major  on  the  left  of  the  last  division. 

383.  When  the  column  has  passed  the  officer  of  the  day,  the  officer  of 
the  guard  marches  it  to  its  post,  the  Adjutant  and  Sergeant-Major  retiring. 
The  music,  which  has  wheeled  out  of  the  column,  and  taken  post  opposite 
the  officer  of  the  day,  will  cease,  and  the  old  officer  of  the  day  salute,  and 
give  the  old  or  standing  orders  to  the  new  officer  of  the  day.     The  super- 
numeraries, at  the  same  time,  will  be  marched  by  the  First  Sergeants  to 
their  respective  company  parades,  and  dismissed. 

384.  In  bad  weather,  or  at  night,  or  after  fatiguing  marches,  the  cere- 
mony of  turning  off  may  be  dispensed  with,  but  not  the  inspection. 

385.  Grand   guards,  and   other   brigade   guards,   are   organized   and 
mounted  on  the  brigade  parade  by  the  staff  officer  of  the  parade,  under 
the  direction  of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade,  according  to 
the  principles  here  prescribed  for  the  police  guard  of  a  regiment.     The 
detail  of  each  regiment  is  assembled  on  the  regimental  parade,  verified  by 
the  Adjutant,  and  marched  to  the  brigade  parade  by  the  senior  officer  of 
the  detail.     After  inspection  and  review,  the  officer  of  the  day  directs  the 
several  guards  to  their  respective  posts. 

386.  The  officer  of  the  old  guard,  having  his  guard  paraded,  on  the 
pproach  of  the  new  guard  commands, 

* 

Present — ARMS  I 


60  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Guard  -Mounting. 

387.  The  new  guard  will  marc-i,  in  quick  time,  past  the  old  guard,  ai 
shouldered  arms,  officers  saluting,  and  take  post  four  paces  on  its  right, 
where,  being  aligned  with  it,  its  commander  will  order, 

Present — ARMS  ! 

The  two  officers  will  then   approach  each  other,  and  salute.     They  will 
then  return  to  their  respective  guards,  and  command, 

1.   Shoulder— ARMS !     2.    Order — ARMS! 

388.  The  officer  of  the  new  guard  will  now  direct  the  detail  for  the 
advanced  guard  to  be  formed  and  marched  to  its  post,  the  list  of  the 
guard  made  and  divided  into  three  reliefs,  experienced  soldiers   placed 
over  the  arms  of  the  guard  and  at  the  remote  and  responsible  posts,  and 
the  young  soldiers  in  posts  near  the  guard  for  instruction  in  their  duties, 
and  will  himself  proceed  to  take  possession  of  the  guard-house  or  guard- 
tent,  and  the  articles  and  prisoners  in  charge  of  the  guard. 

389.  During  the  time  of  relieving  the  sentinels  and  of  calling  in  the 
small  posts,  the  old  commander  will  give  to  the  new  all  the  information 
and  instructions  relating  to  his  post. 

390.  The  first  relief  having  been  designated  and  ordered  two  paces  to 
the  front,  the  Corporal  of  the  new  guard  will  take  charge  of  it,  and  go 
to  relieve  the  sentinels,  accompanied  by  the  Corporal  of  the  old  guard, 
who  will  take  command  of  the  old  sentinels,  when  the  whole  are  relieved. 

391.  If  the  sentinels  are  numerous,  the  Sergeants  are  to  be  employed, 
as  well  as  the  Corporals,  in  relieving  them. 

392.  The  relief,  with  arms  at  a  support,  in  two  ranks,  will  march  by  a 
flank,  conducted  by  the  Corporal  on  the  side  of  the  leading  front-rank 
man;  and  the  men  will  be  numbered  alternately  in  the  front  and  rear 
rank,  the  man  on  the  right  of  the  front  rank  being  No.  1.     Should  an 
officer  approach,  the  Corporal  will  command  carry  arms,  and  resume  the 
support  arms  when  the  officer  is  passed. 

393.  The  sentinels  at  the  guard-house  or  guard-tent  will  be  the  first 
relieved  and  left  behind :  the  others  are  relieved  in  succession. 

394.  When  a  sentinel  sees  the  relief  approaching,  he  will  halt  and  face 
to  it,  with  his  arms  at  a  shoulder.      At  six  paces,  the  Corporal  will 
command, 

1.  Relief.     2.  HALT! 

when  the  relief  will  halt  and  carry  awns.     The  Corporal  will  then  add, 
"No.  1,"  or  "No  2,"  or  "No.  3,"  according  to  the  number  of  the  post,

Arms — PORT  ! 

The  two  seotinels  will,  with  arms  at  port,  then  approach  each  other,  when 
the  old  sentinel,  under  the  correction  of  the  Corporal,  will  whisper  the 
instructions  to  the  new  sentinel.  This  done,  the  two  sentinels  will 
shoulder  arms,  and  the  old  sentinel  will  pass,  in  quick  time,  to  his  place 
in  rear  of  the  relief.  The  Corporal  will  then  command, 

1.  Support — ARMS!     2.  Forward.     3.  MARCH! 

and  the  relief  proceeds  in  the  same  manner  until  the  whole  are  relieved. 

395.  The  detachments  and  sentinels  from  the  old  guard  having  come  in, 
it  will  be  marched,  at  shouldered  arms,  along  the  front  of  the  new  guard, 
in  quick  time,  the  new  guard  standing  at  presented  arms;  officers  salut- 
ing, and  the  music  of  both  guards  beating,  except  at  the  outposts. 

396.  On  arriving  at  the  regimental  or  garrison  parade,  the  commander 
of  the  old  guard  will  send  the  detachments  composing  it,  under  charge 
of  the  non-commissioned  officers,  to  their  respective  regiments.     Before 
the  men  are  dismissed,  their  pieces  will  be  drawn  or    discharged  at  a 
target.     On  rejoining  their  companions,  the  chiefs  of  squads  will  examine 
the  arms,  &c.,  of  their  men,  and  cause  the  whole  to  be  put  away  in  good 
order. 

397.  When  the  old  guard  has  marched  off  fifty  paces,  the  officer  of  the 
aew  guard  will  order  his  men  to  stack  their  arms,  or  place  them  in  the 
arm-racks. 

398.  The  commander  of  the  guard  will  then  make  himself  acquainted 
with  all  the  instructions  for  his  post,  visit  the  sentinels,  and  question 
them  and  the  non-commissioned  officers  relative  to  the  instructions  they 
may  have  received  from  other  persons  of  the  old  guard. 


ARTICLE  XXXin. 

GUARDS. 

399.  Sentinels  will  be  relieved  every  two  hours,  unless  the  state  of  the 
weather,  or  other  causes,  should  make  it  necessary  or  proper  that  it  be 
done  at  shorter  or  longer  intervals. 

400.  Each  relief,  before  mounting,  is  inspected  by  the  commander  of 
the  guard  or  of  its  post.     The  Corporal  reports  to  him,  and  presents  the 
old  relief  on  its  return. 

401.  The  countersign,  or  watchword,  is  given  to  such  persons  as  are

402.  The  parole  is  imparted  to  such  officers  only  as  have  a  right  to 
visit  the  guards,  and  to  make  the  grand  rounds;  and  to  officers  com- 
manding guards. 

403.  As  soon  as  the  new  guard  has  been  marched  off,  the  officer  of  the 
day  will  repair  to  the  office  of  the  commanding  officer  and  report  for 
orders. 

404.  The  officer  of  the  day  must  see  that  the  officer  of  the  guard  is 
furnished  with  the  parole  and  countersign  before  retreat. 

405.  The  officer  of  the  day  visits  the  guards  during  the  day  at  such 
times  as  he  may  deem  necessary,  and  makes  his  rounds  at  night  at  least 
once  after  12  o'clock. 

406.  Upon   being   relieved,  the    officer   of  the   day  will  make   such 
remarks  in  the  report  of  the  officer  of  the  guard  as  circumstances  require, 
and  present  the  same  at  head-quarters. 

407.  Commanders  of  guards  leaving  their  posts  to  visit  their  sentinels, 
or  on  other  duty,  are  to  mention  their  intention,  and  the  probable  time 
of  their  absence,  to  the  next  in  command. 

408.  The  officers  are  to  remain  constantly  at  their  guards,  except  while 
visiting  their  sentinels,  or  necescarily  engaged  elsewhere  on  their  proper 
duty. 

409.  Neither  officers  nor   soldiers   are   to  take  off  their  clothing  or 
accoutrements  while  they  are  on  guard. 

410.  The  officer  of  the  guard  must  see  that  the  countersign  is  duly 
communicated  to  the  sentinels  a  little  before  twilight. 

411.  When  a  fire  breaks  out,  or  any  alarm  is  raised  in  a  garrison,  all 
guards  are  to  be  immediately  under  arms. 

412.  Inexperienced  officers  are  put  on  guard  as  supernumeraries,  for 
the  purpose  of  instruction. 

413.  Sentinels  will  not  take  orders  or  allow  themselves  to  be  relieved, 
except  by  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer  of  their  guard  or  party, 
the  officer  of  the  day,  or   the   commanding  officer;  in  which  case  the 
orders  will  be  immediately  notified  to  the  commander  of  the  guard  by 
the  officer  giving  them. 

414.  Sentinels  will  report  every  breach  of  orders  or  regulations  they 
are  instructed  to  enforce. 

415.  Sentinels   must   keep  themselves   on   the  alert,  observing  every 
thing  that  takes  place  within  sight  and  hearing  of  their  post.     They  will 
carry  their  arms  habitually  at  support,  or  on  either  shoulder,  but  will 
never  quit  them.     In  wet  weath  jr,  if  there  be  no  sentry-box,  they  will 
secure  arms.

REVISED    REGULATIONS 


Duties  of  Sentinels. 


416.  No  sentinel  shall  quit  his  post  or  hold  conversation  not  necessary 
to  the  proper  discharge  of  his  duty. 

417.  All  persons,  of  whatever  rank  in  the   service,  are  required  to 
observe  respect  toward  sentinels. 

418.  In  case  of  disorder,  a  sentinel  must  call  out  the  guard;  and  if  a 
fire  take  place,  he  must  cry  —  "  Fire  !"  adding  the  number  of  his  post. 
If  in  either  case  the  danger  be  great,  he  must  discharge  his  firelock 
before  calling  out. 

419.  It  is  the  duty  of  a  sentinel  to  repeat  all  calls  made  from  posts 
more  distant  from  the  main  body  of  the  guard  than  his  own,  and  no  sen- 
tinel will  be  posted  so  distant  as  not  to  be  heard  by  the  guard,  either 
directly  or  through  other  sentinels. 

120.  Sentinels  will  present  arms  to  general  and  field  officers,  to  the 
officer  of  the  day,  and  to  the  commanding  officer  of  the  post.  To  all 
other  omcers  they  will  carry  arms. 

421.  When  a  sentinel  in  his  sentry-box  sees  an  omcer  approaching, 
he  will  stand  at  attention,  and  as  the  omcer  passes  will  salute  him,  by 
bringing  the  left   hand   briskly  to   the  musket,  as  high   as  the  right 
shoulder. 

422.  The  sentinel  at  any  post  of  the  guard,  when  he  sees  any  body  ol 
troops,  or  an  officer  entitled  to  compliment,  approach,  must  call  —  "  Tun 
oat  the  guard  !"  and  announce  who  approaches. 

423.  Guards  do  not  turn  out  as  a  matter  of  compliment  after  sunsei; 
but  sentinels  will,  when  officers  in  uniform  approach,  pay  them  proper 
attention,  by  facing  to  the  proper  front,  and  standing  steady  at  shouldered 
arms.     This  will  be  observed  until  the  evening  is  so  far  advanced  that 
the  sentinels  begin  challenging. 

424.  After  retreat  (or  the  hour  appointed  by  the  commanding  officer), 
until  broad  daylight,  a  sentinel  challenges  every  person  who  approaches 
him,  taking,  at  the  same  time,  the  position  of  arms  port.     He  will  suffer 
no  person  to  come  nearer  than  within  reach  of  his  bayonet,  until  the 
person  has  given  the  countersign. 

425.  A  sentinel,  in  challenging,  will  call  out^—  "  Who  comes  there?" 
If  answered  —  "Friend,  with  the  countersign"  and  he  be  instructed  to 
pass  persons  with  the  countersign,  he  will  reply  —  "Advance,  friend,  with 
the   countersign  !"     If  answered  —  "  Friends  !"  he    will   reply  —  "  Halt, 
friends!  Advance  one  with  the  countersign!"     If  answered  —  "Relief" 
"Patrol,"  or  "  Grand  rounds,"  he  will  reply  —  "Halt!  Advance,  Ser- 
geant (or  Corporal},  with  the  countersign!"  and  satisfy  himself  that  the 
\arty  is  what  it  represents  itself  to  be.     If  he  have  no  authority  to  pass 

ersons  with  the  countersign,  if  the  wrong  countersign  be  given,  or  if 


FOR  THE   ARMr. 


Duties  of  Sentinels. 


the  persons  have  not  the  countersign,  he  will  cause  them  to  stand,  and 
call — "  Corporal  of  the  guard  !" 

426.  In  the  daytime,  when   the  sentinel   before  the  guard  sees  the 
officer  of  the  day  approach,  he  will  call — "  Turn  out  the  guard  !  officer 
of  the  ^day."     The  guard  will  be  paraded,  and  salute  with  presented  arms 

427.  When  any  person  approaches  a  post  of  the  guard  at  night,  the 
sentinel   before   the   post,  after  challenging,  causes   him    to   halt   until 
examined   by  a   non-commissioned  officer  of  the   guard.     If  it  be  the 
officer  of  the  day,  or  any  other  officer  entitled  to  inspect  the  guard  and  to 
mate  the  rounds,  the  non-commissioned  officer  will  call — "  Turn  out  the 
guard!"  when  the  guard  will  be  paraded  at  shouldered  arms,  and  the 
officer  of  the  guard,  if  he  thinks  necessary,  may  demand  the  countersign 
and  parole. 

428.  The  officer  of  the  day,  wishing  to  make  the  rounds,  will  take  an 
sscort  of  a  non-commissioned  officer  and  two  men.     When  the  rounds  are 
challenged  by  a  sentinel,  the  Sergeant  will  answer — "  Grand  rounds  !" 
and  the  sentinel  will  reply — "  Halt,  grand  rounds  !     Advance,  Sergeant, 
with  the  countersign  !"     Upon  which  the  Sergeant  advances  and  gives 
the  countersign.     The  sentinel  will  then  cry — "  Advance,  rounds  !"  and 
stand  at  a  shoulder  till  they  have  passed. 

429.  When  the  sentinel  before  the  guard  challenges,  and  is  answered 
— "  Grand  rounds,"  he  will  reply — "  Halt,  grand  rounds !      Turn  out 
the  guard;  grand  rounds  !"     Upon  which  the  guard  will  be  drawn  up 
at  shouldered  arms.     The  officer  commanding  the  guard  will  then  order 
a  Sergeant  and  two  men  to  advance ;  when  within  ten  paces,  the  Sergeant 
challenges.      The   Sergeant   of   the   grand   rounds    answers — "  Grand 
rounds !"     The  Sergeant  of  the   guard   replies — "  Advance,   Sergeant, 
with  the  countersign!"     The  Sergeant  of  the  rounds  advances  alone,  gives 
the  countersign,  and  returns  to  his  round.     The  Sergeant  of  the  guard 
calls  to  his  officer — "  The  countersign  is  right !"  on  which  the  officer  of 
the  guard  calls — "  Advance,  rounds  !"     The  officer  of  the  rounds  then 
advances  alone,  the  guard  standing  at  shouldered  arms.     The  officer  of 
the  rounds  passes  along  the  front  of  the  guard  to  the  officer,  who  keeps 
his  post  on  the  right,  and  gives  him  (he  parole.     He  then  examines  the 
guard,  orders  back  his  escort,  and,  taking  a  new  one,  proceeds  in  the 
same  manner  to  other  guards. 

430.  All  material  instructions  given  to  a  sentinel  on  post  by  persons 
entitled  to  make  grand  rounds,  ought  to  be  promptly  notified  to  the  com- 
mander of  the  guard. 

481.  Any  General  officer,  or  the  commander  of  a  post  or  garrison, 
may  visit  the  guards  of  his  command,  and  go  the  grand  rounds,  and  be 
received  in  the  same  manner  as  prescribed  *br  the  officer  of  the  day.

66  REVISED  REGULATIONS 

Orders  and  Correspondence. 

ARTICLE  XXXIV. 

ORDERS  AND  CORRESPONDENCE. 

432.  The  orders  of  commanders  of  armies,  divisions,  brigades,  regi- 
ments, are  denominated  orders  of  such  army,  division,  &c.,  and  are  either 
general  or  special.     Orders  are  numbered,  general  and  special,  in  separate 
series,  each  beginning  with  the  year. 

433.  General  orders  announce  the  time  and  place  of  issues  and  pay- 
ments  ;  hours  for  roll-calls  and  duties ;  the  number  and  kind  of  orderlies, 
and  the  time  when  they  shall  be  relieved ;  police  regulations,  and  the 
prohibitions   required   by  circumstances   and   localities;    returns  to  be 
made,  and  their  forms;  laws  and  regulations  for  the  army;  promotions 
and  appointments ;  eulogies  or  censures  to  corps  or  individuals,  and  gene- 
rally, whatever  it  may  be  important  to  make  known  to  the  whole  com- 
mand. 

434.  Special  orders  are  such  as  do  not  concern  the  troops  generally, 
and  need  not  be  published  to  the  whole  command ;  such  as  relate  to  the 
march  of  some  particular  corps,  the  establishment  of  some  post,  the 
detaching  of  individuals,  the  granting  requests,  &c.,  &c. 

435.  A  general  order,  and  an  important  special  order,  must  be  read 
and  approved  by  the  officer  whose  order  it  is,  before  it  is  issued  by  the 
staff  officer. 

436.  An  order  will  state  at  the  head  the  source,  place,  and  date,  and 
at  the  foot,  the  name  of  the  commander  who  gives  it ;  as  for  example : 

Head-  Quarters  of  the  First  Brigade,  Second  Division. 

Vamp  at ,  1st  June,  1860. 

GENERAL  ORDERS, 

No. . 

By  command  of  Brigadier-General  A.  B. 

C.  D.,  Assistant  Adjutant-General. 

437.  Orders  may  be  put  in  the  form  of  letters,  but  generally  in  the 
strict  military  form,  through  the  office  of  the  Adjutant  or  Adjutant- 
General  of  the  command. 

438.  Orders  are  transmitted  through  all  the  intermediate  commanders 
in  the  order  of  rank.     When  an  intermediate  commander  is  omitted,  the 
officer  who  gives  the  order  shall  inform  him,  and  he  who  receives  it  shall 
report  it  to  his  immediate  superior. 

439.  Orders  for  any  body  of  troops  will  be  addressed  to  the  commander, 
and  will  be  opened  and  executed  by  the  commander  present,  and  published 


FOR   THE    ARMY.  67 


Orders  and  Correspondence. 


or  distributed  by  him  when  necessary ;  printed  orders,  however,  are  gene 
rally  distributed  direct  to  posts  from  the  head-quarters  where  issued. 

440.  Orders  assigning  the  stations  of  officers  of  engineers,  ordnance^ 
and  of  the  staff  departments,  except  as  provided  in  the  regulations  for 
troops  in  the  campaign,  will  be  given  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  through 
the  Adjutant-General's  office,  or  by  commanders  of  geographical  depart- 
ments, under  the  special  authority  of  the  War  Department.     The  com- 
mander of  a  department,  who,  in  consequence  of  the  movement  of  troops 
or  other  necessity  of  the  service,  removes  an  officer  from  the  station 
assigned  to  him  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  shall  promptly  report  the  case 
to  the  Adjutant-General. 

441.  A  file  of  the  printed  orders  will  be  kept  with  the  head-quarters 
of  each  regiment,  with  each  company,  and  at  each  military  post,  and  will 
be  regularly  turned  over  by  the  commander,  when  relieved,  to  his  successor. 

442.  If  general  orders  are  not  received  in  regular   succession,  com- 
manding officers  will  report  the  missing  numbers   to  the  proper  head- 
quarters. 

443.  The  orderly  hours  being  fixed  at  each  iead-quarters,  the  staff 
officers  and  chiefs  of  the  special  services  either  attend  in  person,  or  send 
their  assistants  to  obtain  the  orders  of  the  day ;  and  the  first  sergeants  of 
companies  repair  for  that  purpose  to  the  regimental  or  garrison  head- 
quarters. 

444.  During  marches  and  active   operations,  and  when   the   regular 
orderly  hours  cannot  be  observed,  all  orders  will  be  either  sent  direct  to 
the  troops,  or  the  respective  commanders  of  regiments  or  corps  will  be 
informed  when  to  send  to  head-quarters  for  them.     Under  the  same  cir- 
cumstances, orders  will  be  read  to  the  troops  during  a  halt,  without  wait- 
ing for  the  regular  parades. 

445.  Orders  to  any  officer  to  make  a  tour  of  travel  on  duty,  as  for  the 
inspection  or  payment  of  troops,  &c.,  shall  designate  the  troops  and  posts 
he  shall  visit,  and  the  order  in  which  he  shall  visit  them,  and  the  route 
of  travel. 

446.  Every  commander  who  gives  an  order  involving  an  expenditure 
of  public  money,  shall  send  a  copy,  without  delay,  to  the  bureau  of  the 
War  Department  to  which  the  expenditure  appertains,  and  if  such  com- 
mander be  serving  in  a  military  department,  he  shall  send  a  copy  of  the 
order  to  the  head-quarters  of  the  Department. 

447.  If  a  military  commander  shall  give  to  a  disbursing  officer  any 
order  in  conflict  with  orders  received  by  him  from  the  officer  in  charge 
of  his  department,  at  any  superior  head-quarters,  such  commander  shall 
forthwith  transmit  the  order  to  sue1,    head-quarters,  with  explanation  of 
the  necessity  which  justifies  it. 


68  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Orders  and  Correspondence. 

448.  Copies  of  all  orders  of  the  commanders  of  armies,  departments, 
divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  and  of  the  Superintendent  of  the  re- 
cruiting service,  will  be  forwarded  at  their  dates,  or  as  soon  thereafter  as 
practicable,  in  separate  series,  on  full  sheets  of  letter  paper,  or  as  printed, 
to  the  Adjutant-General's  office. 

449.  Written  communications  from  a  commander  to  those  under  his 
command  may  be  made  by  his  staff  officer.      In  all  other  cases  by  the 
officer  himself. 

450.  In  signing  an  official  communication,  the  writer  shall  annex  to 
his  name  his  rank  and  corps.     When  he  writes  by  order,  he  shall  state 
by  whose  order. 

451.  All  official  correspondence  between  the  heads   of  the  different 
departments   of  the   staff  of  any  command,  and   its   commander,  must 
pass  through  the  Adjutant-General,  Assistant  Adjutant-General,  or  Adju- 
t.mt  of  the  command,  as  the  case  may  be.     Communications  to  or  from 
a  commander,  and  those  under  his  command,  must   pass  through  the 
Adjutant-General,  Assistant  Adjutant-General,  or  Adjutant  on  duty  with 
it ;  excepting  only  such  communications  between  a  disbursing  officer  and 
the  chief  of  his  particular  branch  of  the  staff,  as  relate  exclusively  to  the 
ordinary  routine  of  business  in  their  own  department.     All  communica- 
tions, whether  from  an  inferior  to  a  superior,  or  vice  versti,  are,  as  a  gene- 
ral rule,  to  be  passed  through  the  intermediate  commanders.     The  same 
rule  governs  in  verbal  applications  :  for  example,  a  Lieutenant  seeking  an 
indulgence  must  apply  through  his  Captain,  the  Captain  through  the 
Adjutant,  and  so  on. 

452.  Copies  of  all  important  communications  from  the  bureaus  of  the 
War  Department  to  disbursing  officers,  relating  to  the  service  in  a  mili- 
tary department,  shall  be  seni   from  the  bureau  to  the  department  com- 
mander. 

453.  Rolls  and  returns  will  be  accompanied  by  a  letter  of  transmittal, 
enumerating  them,  and  referring  to  no  other  subject. 

454.  Generally,  officers  who  forward  communications  indorse  on  them 
their  remarks  or  opinion,  without  other  letters  of  transmittal. 

455.  Official  letters  should  generally  refer  to  one  matter  only.     In  re- 
gard to  an  enlisted  man,  the  company  and  regiment  must  be  stated. 

456.  Letters  on  letter  paper  will  be  folded  in  three  folds,  parallel  with 
the  writing. 

457.  All  communications  on  public  service  are  to  be  marked  on  the 
cover,  "  Official  Busin  ss."

Returns  and  Reports. Annual  Returns. 


ARTICLE    XXXV. 

RETURNS   AND   REPORTS. 
MONTHLY   RETURNS. 

458.  Commanders  of  regiments,  corps,  and  posts,  will  make  to  the 
Adjutant-General's   office   of  the  War   Department  monthly  returns  "f 
their  respective  regiments,  corps,  and  posts,  on  the  forms  furnished  frcm 
that  office,  and  according  to  the  directions  expressed  on  them.     In  like 
manner,  Captains  make  monthly  company  returns  to  regimental  head- 
quarters.    All  monthly  returns  will  be  forwarded  on  the  1st  day  of  the 
next  month,  except  regimental  returns,  which  are  forwarded  as  soon  as 
all  the  company  returns  are  received. 

459.  In  campaign,  monthly  returns  of  divisions  and  detached  brigades, 
and,  generally,  of  all  detached  commands  (see  General  Orders  No.  1,  of 
February  10, 1855),  will  be  made  to  the  Adjutant-General's  office.     They 
will  exhibit  separately  the  several  regiments,  and  detachments,  and  staff 
corps,  and  the  strength  of  each  garrison  within  the  command.     These 
returns,  and  those  of  regiments,  corps,  and  posts,  in  campaign,  will,  unless 
otherwise  ordered,  be  transmitted  through  the  intermediate  commanders. 

460.  The  established  printed  forms  and  blanks  of  all  returns  required 
from  the  commanders  of  divisions,  brigades,  regiments,  corps,  companies, 
and  posts,  will  be  furnished  from  the  Adjutant-General's  office,  on  their 
requisitions  annually  made,  or  oftener,  if  necessary.     The  receipt  of  these 
forms  and  blanks  will  be  immediately  acknowledged,  and  afterward  ac- 
counted for  on  the  next  monthly  returns. 

461.  Manuscript  returns,  rolls,  certificates,  and  other  documents,  are 
prohibited,  unless  the  proper  printed  forms  have  not  been  received  in 
time.     Regimental  returns  must  be  made  out  in  the  name  of  the  Colonel, 
whether  he  be  present  or  absent. 

ANNUAL  RETURNS — CASUALTIES. 

462.  This   return  will   exhibit   the  various    changes  and   alterations 
which  may  have  taken  place  in  the  regiment  during  the  preceding  twelve

ARTICLE  XXXVI. 

TEOOPS    IN    CAMPAIGN. 
ORGANIZATION    OP   AN    ARMY   IN   THE    FIELD. 

473.  The  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and 
administration  of  armies  in  the  field. 

474.  A  division  consists  usually  of  two  or  three  brigades,  either  of  in- 
fantry or  cavalry,  and  troops  of  other  corps  in  the  necessary  propoition. 

475.  A  brigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.     The  first  number 
takes  the  right. 


72  REVISED    REGULATIONS 


Organization  of  an  Army  in  the  Field. 


476.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantry  and  light  cav- 
alry, especially  for  the  advanced  guards. 

477.  As  the  troops  arrive  at  the  rendezvous,  the  general  commanding- 
in-chief  will  organize  them  into  brigades  and  divisions. 

478.  The  light  cavalry  is  employed  as  flankers  and  partisans,  and  gene- 
rally for  all  service  out  of  the  line. 

479.  Heavy  cavalry  belongs  to  the  reserve,  and  is  covered,  when  neces- 
sary, in  marches,  camps,  or  bivouacs,  by  light  troops,  or  infantry  of  the 
line. 

480.  The  arrangement  of  the  troops  on  parade  and  in  order  of  battle 
is — 1st,  the  light  infantry ;  2d,  infantry  of  the  line ;  3d,  light  cavalry  ; 
4th,  cavalry  of  the  line ;  5th,  heavy  cavalry.     The  troops  of  the  artillery 
and  engineers  are  in  the  centre  of  the  brigades,  divisions,  or  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached;  marines  take  the  left  of  other  infantry;  volun- 
teers and  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  troops  of  the  same  arm,  and 
among  themselves,  regiments  of  volunteers  or  militia  of  the  same  arm 
take  place  by  lot.     This  arrangement  is  varied  by  the  general  command- 
ing-in-chief,  as  the  circumstances  of  war  render  expedient. 

48  L.  Brigades  in  divisions,  and  divisions  in  the  army,  are  numbered 
from  right  to  left;  but  in  reports  of  military  operations,  brigades  and 
divisions  are  designated  by  the  name  of  the  general  commanding  them. 

482.  The  order  of  regiments  in  brigades  and  of  brigades  in  divisions 
may  be  changed  by  the  commander  of  the  division  for  important  reasons, 
such  as  the  weakner**  of  some  corps,  or  to  relieve  one  from  marching  too 
long  at  the  rear  e*  che  column.     Such  changes  must  be  reported  to  the 
general  commandmg-in-chief. 

483.  The  general  commanding-in-chief  assigns  the  gdnerals  of  divi- 
sions and  of  brigades  to  their  respective  commands,  when  the  assignment 
is  not  made  by  the  Department  of  War. 

484.  The  general  of  brigade  inspects  his  troops  in  detail,  by  companies, 
when  he  takes  the  command  and  at  the  opening  of  the  campaign,  and  as 
often  as  may  be  necessary  to  ascertain   exactly  their   condition.     The 
general  of  division  makes  similar  inspections  when  he  thinks  proper.     At 
these  inspections  the  generals  examine  the  arms,  clothing,  equipments, 
harness,  horses,  &c.,  direct  the  necessary  repairs,  and  designate  the  men 
and  horses  to  remain  in  depot,  or  march  with  the  train. 

485.  Reports  of  inspections  are  made  by  the  general  of  brigade  to  the 
general  of  division,  and  by  the  general  of  division  to  the  general  com- 
manding-in-chief. 

486.  During  marches  and  all  active   operations,  generals  of  brigade 
Keep  themselves  exactly  informed,  by  reports  of  corps  and  by  their  in- 
spections, of  the  actual   strength  of  the   regiments,  so  as  always,  and 


FOR   THE    ARMY.  73 


Contributions. Orderlies. 


especially  after  an  engagement,  to  make  accurate  returns  to  the  general 
of  division. 

487.  Staff  officers,  and  officers  of  engineers,  ordnance,  and  artillery,  ac- 
cording to  the  nature  of  the  service,  are  assigned  to  the  head-quarters  of 
armies  and  divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  by  order  of  the  general  com- 
manding-in-chief,  when  the  distribution  of  these  officers  has  not  been 
regulated  by  the  War  Department.     The  necessary  staff  will  be  assigned 
to  commanders  of  brigades. 

488.  When  an  Engineer  or  other  officer  is  charged  with  directing  an 
expedition  or  making  a  reconnoissance,  without  having  command  of  the 
escort,  the  commander  of  the  escort  shall  consult  him  on  all  the  arrange- 
ments necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  the  operation. 

489.  Staff  officers,  and  commanders  of  engineers,  ordnance,  and  artil- 
lery, report  to  their  immediate  commanders  the  state  of  the  supplies  and 
whatever  concerns  the  service  under  their  direction,  and  receive  their 
orders,  and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from  their  superiors 
in  their  own  corps. 

490.  The  senior  officer  of  engineers,  of  ordnance,  and  the  departments 
of  the  general  staff  serving  at  the  chief  head-quarters  in  the  field,  will 
transmit  to  the  bureau  of  his  department  at  Washington,  at  the  close  of 
the  campaign,  and  such  other  times  as  the  commander  in  the  field  may 
approve,  a  full  report  of  the  operations  of  his  department,  and  whatever 
information  to  improve  its  service  he  may  be  able  to -furnish. 

The  report  of  the  officer  of  engineers  will  embrace  plans  of  military 
works  executed  during  the  campaign,  and,  in  case  of  siege,  a  journal  of 
the  attack  or  defense. 

CONTRIBUTIONS. 

491.  When  the  wants  of  the  army  absolutely  require  it,  and  in  other 
cases,  under  special  instructions  from  the  War  Department,  the  general 
commanding  the  army  may  levy  contributions  in  money  or  kind  on  the 
enemy's  country  occupied  by  the  troops.     No  other  commander  can  levy 
such  contributions  without  written  authority  from  the  general  command 
ing-in-chief. 

ORDERLIES. 

492.  At  the  opening  of  a  campaign,  the  commander  of  an  army  de- 
termines and  announces  in  orders  the  number  of  orderlies,  mounted  or 
foot,  for  the  Generals,  and  the  corps  or  regiments  by  which  they  are  to 
be  supplied, 'and  the  periods  at  which  they  shall  be  relieved. 

498.  In  marches,  the  mounted  orderlies  follow  the  Generals,  and  per- 
form the  duty  of  escorts,  or  march  with  orderlies  on  foot  at  the  head  of 
the  division  or  brigade. 


74  RE  VISED   REGULATIONS 


Depots  and  Camps. 


494.  TLe  staff  officer  who  distributes  the  orderlies  to  their  posts  sends 
with  them  a  note  of  the  time  and  place  of  departure ;  those  relieved  re- 
ceive a  like  note  from  the  staff  officer  at  the  head-quarters. 

495.  Mounted  soldiers  are  to  be  employed  to  carry  dispatches  only  IE 
special  and  urgent  cases.  (See  par.  557.) 

496.  The  precise  time  when  the  dispatch  is  sent  off,  and  the  rate  at 
which  it  is  to  be  conveyed,  are  to  be  written  clearly  on  the  covers  of  all 
letters  transmitted  by  a  mounted  orderly,  and  the  necessary  instructions 
to  him,  and  the  rate  of  travel  going  and  returning,  are  to  be  distinctly 
explained  to  him. 

DEPOTS. 

497.  The  grand  depots  of  an  army  are  established  where  the  military 
operations  would  not  expose  them  to  be  broken  up.     Smaller  depots  are 
organized  for  the  divisions  and  the  several  arms.     They  are  commanded 
by  officers  temporarily  disabled  for  field  service,  or  by  other  officers  when 
necessary,  and  comprise,  as  much  as  possible,  the  hospitals  and   depots 
for  convalescents.     When  conveniently  placed,  they  serve  as  points  for 
the  halting  and  assembling  of  detachments.     They  receive  the  disabled 
from  the  corps  on  the  march;  and  the  officers  in  command  of  the  depots 
bend  with  the  detachments  to  the  army  those  at  the  depdts  who  have  be- 
come fit  for  service. 

CAMPS. 

498.  A   camp  is  the  place  where  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in 
huts,  or  in  bivouac.     Cantonments  are  the  inhabited  places  which  troops 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in  barracks.     The  camping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  camp. 

499.  Reconnoissances  should  precede  the  establishment  of  the  camp. 
Jlor  a  camp  of  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessary  to  look4 to  the 
health  and  comfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  the  communications,  the 
convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the  resources  in  provisions   and 
forage.     The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  a  coun- 
try, or  one  designed  to  deceive  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of  the  army, 
must  be  selected,  and  the  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in  view. 

500.  The    camping-party  of  a  regiment   consists  of   the   regimental 
Quartermaster  and  Quartermaster-Sergeant,  an  3  a  Corporal  and  two  men 
per  company.    The  General  decides  whether  the  regiments  camp  separately 
or  together,  and  whether  the  police  guard  shall  accompany  the  camping- 
party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  be  sent. 

501.  Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  the 
arapiug-party. 

602.  \Vheii  the  General  can  send  in  advance  to  prepa  e  the  cai/ip,  ne

Camps. 


gives  his  instructions  to  the  jhief  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  who 
calls  on  the  regiments  for  oheir  camping-parties,  and  is  accompanied,  if 
necessary,  by  an  Engineer  to  propose  the  defenses  and  communications. 

503.  The  watering-places  are  examined,  and  signals  placed  at  those 
that  are  dangerous.     Any  WDrk  required  to  make  them  of  easier  access  is 
done  by  the  police  guard  or  Quartermaster's  men.     Sentinels,  to  be  re- 
lieved by  the  guards  of  the  regiirent  when  they  come  up,  are  placed  by 
the  camping-party  over  the  water  if  it  is  scarce,  and  over  the  houses  and 
stores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

504.  If  the  camping-party  does  not  precede  the  regiment,  the  Quarter- 
master  attends   to   these  things  as  soon  as   the  regiment   reaches  the 
camp. 

505.  On  reaching  the  ground,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color  front, 
the  cavalry  in  rear  of  its  camp. 

506.  The  Generals  establish  the  troops  in  camp  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
particularly  after  long,  fatiguing  marches. 

507.  The  number  of  men  to  be   furnished   for  guards,  pickets,  and 
orderlies  }    the  fatigue  parties  to  be  sent  for  supplies ;  the  work  to  be 
done,  and  the  strength  of  the  working  parties ;  the  time  and  place  for 
issues ;  the  hour  of  marching,  &c.,  are  then  announced  by  the  Brigadier- 
Generals  to  the  Colonels  and  by  them   to  the  field  officers — the  Adju- 
tant and  Captains  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Sergeants 
taking   post   behind   their  Captains.      The  Adjutant   then    makes   the 
details,  and  the  First  Sergeants  warn  the  men.     The  regimental  officer  of 
the   day  forms  the    picket,  and   sends  the  guards  to  their  posts.     The 
colors  are  then  planted  at  the  centre  of  the  color  line,  and  the  arms  are 
stacked  on  the  line;    the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  and  the 
working  parties,  form  in  rear  of  the  arms ;  the  men  not  on  detail  pitch 
the  tents. 

508.  If  the  camp  is  near  the  enemy,  the  picket  remains  under  arms 
until  the  return  of  the  fatigue  parties,  and,  if  necessary,  is  re-enforced 
by  details  from  each  company. 

509.  In  the  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at 
which  its  horses  are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank  j  the  men  then 
dismount ;  a  detail  is  made  to  hold  the  horses ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms 
and  fix  the  picket  repe }  after  the  horses  are  attended  to,  the  tents  are 
pitched,  and  each  horseman   places  his  carbine  at  the  side   from  the 
weather,  and  hangs  his  sabre  and  bridle  on  it. 

510.  The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the  Colonel. 

511.  The  terms  front,  flank,  right,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  same 
meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

512.  The  front  of  the  camp  is  usually  equal  io  the  front  of  the  troops. 


RE  VISED   REGULATIONS 


Camp  of  Infantry. 


The  tents  are  arranged  in  ranks  and  files.     The  number  of  ranks  varies

515.  Each  company  has  its  tents  in  two  files,  facing  on  a  street  per- 
pendicular to  the  color  line.      The  width  of  the  street  depends  on  the 
front  of  the  camp,  but  should  not  be  less  than  5  paces.      The  interval 
between  the  ranks  of  tents  is  2  paces;  between  the  files  of  tents  of 
adjacent  companies,  2  paces;  between  regiments,  22  paces. 

516.  The  color  line  is  10  paces  in  front  of  the  front  rank  of  tents. 
The  kitchens  are  20  paces  behind  the  rear  rank  of  company  tents  ;  the 
non-commissioned  staff  and  sutler,  20  paces  in  rear  of  the  kitchens  ;  the 
company  officers,  20  paces  farther  in  rear;  and  the  field  and  staff,  20

missioned staff,  the  tents  facing  to  the  front,  the  stacks  of  arms  on  the 
left. 

520.  The  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  about  200  paces  in  front 
of  the  color  line,  and  opposite  the  centre  of  the  regiment,  or  on  the  best 
ground  ;  the  prisoners'  tent  about  4  paces  in  rear.     In  a  regiment  of  the 
second  line,  the  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  200  paces  in  rear  of 
the  line  of  its  field  and  staff. 

521.  The  horses  of  the  staff  officers  and  of  the  baggage  train  are  25 
paces  in  rear  of  the  tents  of  the  field  and  staff;  the  wagons  are  parked 
on  the  same  line,  and  the  men  of  the  train  camped  near  them.

FOR    THE   ARMY.  79 


Camp  of  Cavalry. 


camp  is  to  have  the  same  front  as  the  troops  in  order  of  battle.  But  the 
front  may  be  reduced  \o  190  paces  by  narrowing  the  company  streets  to 
5  paces ;  and  if  it  be  desirable  to  reduce  the  front  still  more,  the  tents  of 
companies  may  be  pitched  in  single  file — those  of  a  division  facing  on  the 
game  street. 

CAMP   OF   CAVALRY. 

524.  In  the  cavalry,  each  company  has  one  file  of  tents — the   tents 
Opening  on  the  street  facing  the  left  of  the  camp. 

525.  The  horses  of  each  company  are  placed  in  a  single  file,  facing  the 
opening  of  the  tents,  and  are  fastened  to  pickets  planted  firmly  in  the 
ground,  from  3  to  6  paces  from  the  tents  of  the  troops. 

526.  The  interval  between  the  file  of  tents  should  be  such  that,  the 
regiment  being  broken  into  column  of  companies  [as  indicated  in  plate], 
each  company  should  be  on  the  extension  of  the  line  on  which  the  horses 
are  to  be  picketed. 

527.  The  streets  separating  the  squadrons  are  wider  than  those  between 
the  companies  by  the  interval  separating  squadrons  in  line ;  these  intervals 
are  kept  free  from  any  obstruction  throughout  the  camp. 

528.  The  horses  of  the  rear  rank  are  placed  on  the  left  of  those  of 
their  file-leaders. 

529.  The  horses  of  the  Lieutenants  are  placed  on  tho  right  of  their 
platoons;  those  of  the  Captains  on  the  right  of  the  company. 

530.  Each  horse  occupies  a  space  of  about  2  paces.     The  number  of 
norses  in  the  company  fixes  the  depth  of  the  camp,  and  the  distance 
between  the  files  of  tents;  the  forage  is  placed  between  the  tents. 

531.  The  kitchens  are  20  paces  in  front  of  each  file  of  tents. 

532.  The  non-commissioned  officers  are  in  the  tents  of  the  front  rank. 
Camp-followers,  teamsters,  &c.,  are  in  the  rear  rank.     The  police  guard 
in  the  rear  rank,  near  the  eentre  of  the  regiment. 

533.  The  tents  of  the  Lieutenants  are  30  paces  in  rear  of  the  file  of 
their  company;  the  tents  of  the  Captains  30  paces  in  rear  of  the  Lieu- 
tenants. 

534.  The  Colonel's  tent  30  paces  in  rear  of  the  Captains',  near  the 
centre  of  the  regiment;  the  Lieutenant-Colonel  on  his  right;  the  Adju- 
tant on  his  left;  the  Majors  on  the  same  line,  opposite  the  2d  company 
on  the  right  and  left;  the  Surgeon  on  the  left  of  the  Adjutant. 

535.  The  field  and  staff  have  their  horses  on  the  left  of  their  tents,  on 
the  same  line  with  the  company  horses ;  sick  horses  are  placed  in  one 
line  on  the  right  or  left  of  the  camp.     The  men  who  attend  them  have 
a  separate  file  of  tents ;  the  forges  and  wagons  in  rear  of  this  file.     The 
horses  of  the  train  and  of  camp-followers  are  in  one  or  more  files  extending 


80                                  REVISED   REGULATIONS 
Camp  of  Artillery. Bivouacs. 

to  the  rear,  behind  the  right  or  left  squadron.  The  advanced  post  of 
the  police  guard  is  200  paces  in  front,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  regiment ; 
the  horses  in  one  or  two  files. 

536.  The  sinks  for  the  men  are  160  paces  in  front — those  for  officers 
100  paces  in  rear  of  the  camp. 


CAMP   OP   ARTILLERY. 

537.  The  artillery  is  encamped  near  the  troops  to  which  it  is  attached, 
so  as  to  be  protected1  from  attack,  and  to  contribute  to  the  defense  of  the 
camp.     Sentinels  for  the  park  are  furnished  by  the  artillery,  and,  when 
necessary,  by  the  other  troops. 

538.  For  a  battery  of  6  pieces  the  tents  are  in  three  files — one  for  each 
section;  distance  between  the  ranks  of  tents  15  paces;  tents  opening  to 
the  front.     The  horses  of  each  section  are  picketed  in  one  file,  10  paces 
to  the  left  of  the  file  of  tents.     In  the  horse  artillery,  or  if  the  number 
of  horses  makes  it  necessary,  the  horses  are  in  two  files  on  the  right  and 
left  of  the  file  of  tents.     The  kitchens  are  25  paces  in  front  of  the  front 
rank  of  tents.     The  tents  of  the  officers  are  in  the  outside  files  of  company 
tents,  25  paces  in  rear  of  the  rear  rank — the  Captain  on  the  right,  the 
Lieutenants  on  the  left. 

539.  The  park  is  opposite  the  centre  of  the  camp,  40  paces  in  rear  of 
the  officers'  tents.     The  carriages  in  files  4  paces  apart;  distance  between 
ranks  of  carriages  sufficient  for  the  horses  when  harnessed  to  them;  the 
park  guard  is  25  paces  in  rear  of  the  park.     The  sinks  for  the  men  150 
paces  in  front;  for  the  officers  100  paces  in  rear      The  harness  is  in  the 
tents  of  the  men. 

BIVOUACS. 

540.  A  regiment  of  cavalry  being  in  order  of  battle,  in  rear  of  the 
ground  to  be  occupied,  the  Colonel  breaks  it  by  platoons  to  the  right. 
The  horses  of  each  platoon  are  placed  in  a  single  row,  and  fastened  as 
prescribed  for  camps;  near  the  enemy,  they  remain  saddled  all  night, 
with  slackened  girths.     The  arms  are  at  first  stacked  in  rear  of  each  row 
of  -horses;  the  sabres,  with  the  bridles  hung  on  them,  are  placed  against 
the  stacks. 

541.  The  forage  is  placed  on  the  right  of  each  row  of  horses.     Two 
stable-guards  for  each  platoon  watch  the  horses. 

542.  A  fire  for  each  platoon  is  made  near  the  color  line,  20  paces  to 
the  left  of  the  row  of  horses.     A  shelter  is  made  for  the  men  around  the 
fire,  if  possible,  and  each  man  then  stands  his  arms  and  bridle  against  the 
shelter. 


FOR  THE  ARMY.  81 

Cantonments. 

543.  The  fires  and  shelter  for  the  officers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the  line 
of  those  for  the  men. 

544.  The  interval  between  the  squadrons  must  be  without  obstruction 
throughout  the  whole  depth  of  fcke  bivouac. 

545.  The  interval  between  the  shelters  should  be  such  that  the  platoons 
can  take  up  a  line  of  battle  freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

546.  The  distance  from  the  enemy  decides  the  manner  in  which  the 
horses  are  to  be  fed  and  led  to  water.     When  it  is  permitted  to  unsaddle, 
the  saddles  are  placed  in  the  rear  of  the  horses. 

547.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  color  line,  on  the 
ground  that  would  be  occupied  by  the  tents  in  camp.     The  companies 
are   placed   around   them,  and,  if  possible,  construct   shelters.     When 
liable   to   surprise,   the   infantry   should    stand   to   arms    at   daybreak, 
and  the  cavalry  mount  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoitring  parties.     If 
the  arms  are  to  be  taken  apart  to  clean,  it  must  be  done  by  detachments, 
successively. 

CANTONMENTS. 

548.  The  cavalry  should  be  placed  under  shelter  whenever  the  distance 
from  the  enemy,  and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  are  to  form  for 
battle,  permit  it.     Taverns  and  farm-houses,  with  large  stables  and  free 
access,  are  selected  for  quartering  them. 

549.  The  Colonel  indicates  the  place  of  assembling  in  case  of  alarm. 
It  should  generally  be  outside  the  cantonment ;  the  egress  from  it  should 
be  free ;  the  retreat  upon  the  other  positions  secure,  and  roads  leading  to 
it  on  the  side  of  the  enemy  obstructed. 

550.  The  necessary  orders  being  given,  as  in  establishing  a  camp,  the 
picket  and  grand  guards  are  posted.     A  sentinel  may  be  placed  on  a 
steeple  or  high  house,  and  then  the  troops  are  marched  to  the  quarters. 
The  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought  necessary. 

551.  The  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.     Near  the  enemy, 
companies  or  platoons  should  be  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  the 
same  houses.     If  companies  must  be  separated,  they  should  be  divided 
by  platoons  or  squads.     All  take  arms  at  daybreak. 

552.  When   cavalry  and  infantry  canton  together,  the  latter  furnish 
the  guards  by  night,  and  the  former  by  day. 

553.  Troops  cantoned  in  presence  of  the  enemy  should  be  covered  by 
advanced  guards  and  by  natural  or  artificial  obstacles.    Cantonments  taken 
during  a  cessation  of  hostilities  should  be  established  in  rear  of  a  line  of 
defense,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  troops  would  concentrate 
to  receive  an  attack.    The  General  commanding-in-chief  assigns  the  limits 
of  their  cantonments  to  the  divisions,  the  commanders  of  divisions  to

brigades,  and  the  commanders  of  brigades  post  their  regiments.  The 
position  for  each  corps  in  case  of  attack  is  carefully  pointed  out  by  the 
Generals.  / 

HEAD-QUARTERS. 

554.  Generals  take  post  at  the  centre  of  their  commands,  on  the  main 
channels  of  communication.     If  troops  bivouac  in  presence  of  the  enemy, 
the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MILITARY   EXERCISES. 

555.  When  troops  remain  in  camp  or  cantonment  many  days,  the 
Colonels  require  them  to  be  exercised  in  the  school  of  the  battalion  and 
squadron.     Regiments  and  brigades  encamped  by  division  are  not  united 
for  drills  without  the  permission  of  the  General  of  division.     The  troops 
must  not  be  exercised  at  the  firings  without  the  authority  of  the  General 
commanding-in-chief.     The  practice  of  the  drums  must  never  begin  with 
the  "general,"  or  the  "march  of  the  regiment;"  nor  the  trumpets  with 
the  sound  "  to  horse."     The  hour  for  practice  is  always  announced. 

ORDERS. 

556.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  sealed  orders  are  carried 
by  officers,  and,  if  possible,  by  staff  officers.     When  orders  are  carried  by 
orderlies,  the  place  and  time  of  departure  will  be  marked  on  them,  and 
place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receipt. 

DISPATCHES. 

557.  Dispatches,  particularly  for  distant  corps,  should   be   intrusted 
only  to  officers  to  whom  their  contents  can  be  confided.     In  a  country 
occupied  by  the  enemy,  the  bearer  of  dispatches  should  be  accompanied 
by  at   least   two  of  the   best   mounted  men;   should  avoid  towns  and 
villages,  and  the  main  roads  ;  rest  as  little  as  possible,  and  only  at  out-of- 
the-way  places.     Where  there  is  danger,  he  should  send  one  of  the  men 
in  advance,  and  be  always  ready  to  destroy  his  dispatches.     He  should  be 
adroit  in  answering  questions  about  the  army,  and  not  to  be  intimidated 
by  threats. 

WATCHWORDS. 

558.  The  parole  and  countersign  are  issued  daily  from  the  principal 
head-quarters  of  the  command.     The  countersign  is  given  to  the  sentinels 
and  non-commissioned  officers  of  guards  ;  the  parole  to  the  commissioned 
officers  of  guards.      The  parole  is  usually  the  name  of  a  general,  the 
'countersign  that  of  a  battle. 


FOR   THE   ARMY.  gg 


Issues. Roster. 


559.  When  the  parole  and  countersign  cannot  be  communicated  daily 
to  a  post  or  detachment  which  ought  to  use  the  same  as  the  main  body,  a 
leries  of  words  may  be  sent  for  some  days  in  advance. 

560.  If  the  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  of  the  guard  deserts  with  it,  the 
commander  on  the  spot  will  substitute  another,  and  report  the  case  at  once 
to  the  proper  superior,  that  immediate  notice  may  be  given  to  head-quarters. 

ISSUES. 

561.  At  what  time  and  for  what  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend 
on  circumstances,  and  be  regulated  in  orders.     When  an  army  is  not 
moving,  rations  are  generally  issued  for  four  days  at  a  time.     Issues  to  the 
companies  of  a  regiment,  and  the  fatigues  to  receive  them,  are  superin- 
tended by  an  officer  detailed  from  the  regiment.     Issues  are  made  from 
one  end  of  the  line  to  the  other,  beginning  on  the  right  and  left,  alter- 
nately.    An  issue  commenced  to  one  regiment  will  not  be  interrupted  for 
another  entitled  to  precedence  if  it  had  been  in  place. 

THE  ROSTER,  OR  DETAILS  FOR  SERVICE. 

562.  The  duties  performed  by  detail  are  of  three  classes.     Theirs* 
class  comprises,  1st.  grand  guards  and  outposts ;  2d.  interior  guards,  as 
of  magazine,  hospital,  &c. ;  3d.  orderlies;  4th.  police  guards. 

The  second  class  comprises,  1st.  detachments  to  protect  laborers  on 
milita^  yorks,  as  field  works,  communications,  &c. ;  2d.  working  parties 
on  such  works ;  3d.  detachments  to  protect  fatigues. 

The  third  class  are  all  fatigues,  without  arms,  in  or  out  of  camp. 

In  the  cavalry,  stable-guards  form  a  separate  roster,  and  count  before 
fatigue. 

563.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each  class.     Officers  are  named  on 
them  in  the  order  of  rank.     The  details  are  taken  in  succession  in  the 
order  of  the  roster,  beginning  at  the  head. 

564.  Lieutenants  form  one  roster,  and  first  and  second  Lieutenants  are 
entered  on  it  alternately.     The  senior  first  Lieutenant  is  the  first  on  the 
roster;  the  senior  second  Lieutenant  is  the  second,  &c.     The  Captains 
form  one  roster,  and  are  exempt  from  fatigues,  except  to  superintend 
issues.     A  Captain  commanding  a  battalion  temporarily  is  exempt  from 
detail,  and  duty  falling  to  him  passes.     Lieutenant-Colonels  and  Majors 
are  on  one  roster.     They  may  be  detailed  for  duties  of  the  first  and  second 
classes,  when  the  importance  of  the  guards  and  detachments  requires  it 
Their  roster  is  kept  at  division  and  brigade  head-quarters.     In  the  com- 
pany, sergeants,  corporals,  and  privates  form  distinct  rosters. 

565.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  take  duties  of  the 
first  class  in  the  order  stated,  viz.,  the  first,  for  the  detail,  takes  the  grand 


84  REVISED   REGULATIONS

guards;  the  next,  the  interior  guards;  the  last,  the  police  guard;  and 
the  same  rule  in  regard  to  the  details  and  duties  of  the  second  class.  In 
the  details  for  the  third  class,  the  senior  officer  takes  the  largest  party 
The  party  first  for  detail  takes  the  service  out  of  camp. 

566.  When  the  officer  whose  tour  it  is,  is  not  able  to  take  it,  or  is  not 
present  at  the  hour  of  marching,  the  next  after  him  takes  it.     When  a 
guard  has  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or  an  interior  guard  has  reached 
its  post,  the  officer  whose  tour  it  was  cannot  then  take  it.     He  takes  the 
tour  of  the  officer  who  has  taken  his.     When  an  officer  is  prevented  by 
sickness  from  taking  his  tour,  it  passes.     These  rules  apply  equally  to 
non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers. 

567.  Duties  of  the  first  and  second  classes  are  credited  on  the  roster 
when  the  guards  or  detachments  have  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or  an 
interior  guard  has  reached  its  post ;  fatigue  duties  when  the  parties  have 
passed  the  chain  or  begun  the  duties  in  camp. 

568.  Every  officer,  non-commissioned  officer,  or  soldier,  on  duty  of  the 
first  class,  or  who  is  of  the  next  detail  for  such  duty,  takes,  when  relieved, 
the  duty  of  the  second  or  third  class  that  has  fallen  to  him  during  that 
time,  unless  he  has  marched  for  detachment  of  more  than  twenty-four 
hours. 

569.  Soldiers  march  with  knapsacks  on  all  duties  of  the  first  class;  and 
with   arms  and  equipments  complete  on  all  working  parties  out  of  the 
camp,  unless  otherwise  ordered.     In  the  cavalry,  horses  are  packed  for  all 
mounted  service. 

570.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men,  and  those  whose  horses  are  not 
in  order,  are  preferred  for  the  detail  for  dismounted  service.     Those  who 
are  mounted  are  never  employed  on  those  services,  if  the  number  of  the 
other  class  are  sufficient. 

571.  Every  non-commissioned  officer  and  soldier  in  the  cavalry  detailed 
for  dismounted  service  must,  before  he  marches,  take  to  the  First  Sergeant 
of  the  troop,  or  ISergeant  of  his  squad,  his  horse  equipments  and  his 
valise  ready  packed.     In  case  of  alarm,  the  First  Sergeant  sees  that  the 
horses  of  these  men  are  equipped  and  led  to  the  rendezvous. 

572.  These  rules  in  regard  to  the  roster  apply  also  to  service  in  garrison. 

POLICE   GUARD. 

573.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  every  day,  consisting 
of  two  sergeants,  three  corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men   enough  to 
furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  patrols.     The  men  are  taken  from  all 
the  companies,  from  each  in  proportion  to  its  strength.     The  guard  is 
commanded    by  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,   as 
regin Cental  officer  of  the  day.     It  furnishes  ten  sentinels  at  the  camp : 


FOR   THE   ARMY.  85 


Police  Guard. 


one  over  the  arms  of  the  guard ;  one  at  the  Colonel's  tent ;  three  on  the 
color  front,  one  of  them  over  the  colors ;  three,  fifty  paces  in  rear  of  the 
field  officers'  tents }  and  one  on  each  flank,  between  it  and  the  next  regi- 
ment. If  it  is  a  flank  regiment,  one  more  sentinel  is  posted  on  the  outer 
flank. 

574.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed 
of  a  sergeant,  a  corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  furnish  sentinels 
and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners.     The  men  are  the  first  of  the  guard 
roster  from  each  company.     The  men  of  the  advaaced  post  must  not 
leave  it  under  any  pretext.     Their  meals  are  sent  to  the  post.     The 
advanced  post  furnishes  three  sentinels ;  two  a  few  paces  in  front  of  the 
post,  opposite  the  right  and  left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted  so  as  to  see 
as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over  the  arms. 

575.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men  are  employed  in  preference  on. 
the  police  guard.     The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succession,  a 
part  at  a  time,  to  groom  their  horses.     The   advanced  post   is   always 
formed  of  mounted  men. 

576.  In  each  company,  a  corporal  has  charge  of  th«  stable-guard.     His 
tour  begins  at  retreat,  and  ends  at  morning  stable-call.     The  stable-guard 
is  large  enough  to  relieve  the  men  on  post  every  two  hours.     They  sleep 
in  their  tents,  and  are  called  by  the  corporal  when  wanted.     At  retreat 
he  closes  the  streets  of  the  camp  with  cords,  or  uses  other  precautions  to 
prevent  the  escape  of  loose  horses. 

577.  The  officer  of  the  day  is  charged  with  the  order  and  cleanliness 
of  the  camp  :  a  fatigue  is  furnished  to  him  when  the  number  of  prisoners 
is  insufficient  to  clean  the  camp.     He  has  the  calls  beaten  by  the  drummer 
of  the  guard. 

578.  The  police  guard  and  the  advanced  post  pay  the  same  honors  as 
other  guards.     They  take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

579.  The  sentinel  over  the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  them  to  be 
moved  except  in  presence  of  an  escort ;  to  let  no  one  touch  them  but  the 
color-bearer,  or  the  sergeant  of  the  police  guard  when  lie  is  accompanied 
by  two  armed  men. 

580.  The  sentinels  on  the  color  front  permit  no  soldier  to  take  arms 
from  the  stacks,  except  by  order  of  some  officer,  or  a  iion-commissioned 
officer  of  the  guard.     The  sentinel  at  the  Colonel's  tent  has  orders  to 
warn  him,  day  or  night,  of  any  unusual  movement  in  or  about  the  camp. 

581.  The  sentinels  on  the  front,  flanks,  and  rear,  see  that  no  soldier 
leaves  camp  with  horse  or  arms  unless  conducted  by  a  non-commissioned 
officer.     They  prevent  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  from  passing 
out  at  night,  except  to  go  to  the  sinks,  and  mark  if  they  return.     They 
arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  j  arsons  prowling  about  the  camp,  and  at 


86  REVISED   REGULATIONS 


Police  Guard. 


night,  every  one  who  attempts  to  enter,  even  the  sold'ers  of  other  corps. 
Arrested  persons  are  sent  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  who  sends  them,  if 
necessary,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

582.  The  sentinels  on  the  front  of  the  advanced  post  have  orders  to 
permit  neither  non-commissioned  officers  nor  soldiers  to  pass  the  line, 
without  reporting  at  the  advanced  post;  to  warn  the  advanced  post  of 
the  approach  of  any  armed  body,  and  to  arrest  all  suspicious  persons. 
The  sergeant  sends  persons  so  arrested  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  and 
warns  him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body. 

583.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the  pri- 
soners and  keeps  sight  of  them,  and  suffers  no  one  to  converse  with  them 
without  permission.     They  are  only  permitted  to  go  to  the  sinks  one  at  a 
time,  and  under  a  sentinel. 

584.  If  any  one  is  to  be  passed  out  of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of 
the  guard  sends  him  under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  sergeant 
of  the  post  has  him  passed  over  the  chain. 

585.  At  retreat,  the  officer  of  the  guard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard 
called,  and  inspects  arms,  to  see  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order ;  and 
visits  the  advanced  post  for  the  same  purpose.     The  sergeant  of  the  police 
guard,  accompanied  by  two  armed  soldiers,  folds  the  colors  and  lays  them 
on  the  trestle  in  rear  of  the  arms.     He  sees  that  the  sutler's  stores  are 
then  closed,  and  the  men  leave  them,  and  that  the  kitchen  fires  are  put 
out  at  the  appointed  hour. 

586.  The  officer  of  the  day  satisfies   himself  frequently  during   the 
night,  of  the  vigilance  of  the  police  guard'  and  advanced  post.     He  pre- 
scribes patrols  and  rounds  to  be  made  by  the  officer  and  non-commissioned 
officers  of  the  guard.     The  officer  of  the  guard  orders  them  when  he 
thinks  necessary.     He  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

587.  At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms ;  the  officer  of  the  guard 
inspects  it  and  the  advanced  post.     The  Sergeant  replants  the  colors  in 
place.    At  retreat  and  reveille  the  advanced  post  takes  arms;  the  Sergeant 
makes  his  report  to  the  officer  of  the  guard  when  he  visits  the  post. 

588.  When  necessary,  the  camp  is  covered  at  night  with  small  out- 
posts, forming  a  double  chain  of  sentinels.     These  posts  are  under  the 
orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police  guard,  and  are  visited  by  his  patrols 
and  rounds. 

589.  The  officer  of  the  guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service, 
including  the  advanced  post,  and  sends  it,  after  the  guard  is  marched  off, 
to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

590.  When  the  regiment  marches,  the  men  of  the  police  guard  return 
U)  their  companies,  except  those  jf  the  advanced  post.     In  the  cavalry,  at 
the  sound  "boot  and  saddle/'  tie  officer  of  the  guard  sends  one-half  the 


FOR    THE   ARMY.  8*5 


The  Picket. 


men  to  saddle  and    pack;  when   the  regiment  assembles,  all   the  men 
join  it. 

591.  When  the  camping-party  precedes  the  regiment,  and  the  new 
police  guard  marches  with  the  camping-party,  the  guard,  on  reaching  the 
camp,  forms  in  line  thirty  paces  in  front  of  the  centre  of  the  ground 
marked  for  the  regiment.     The  officer  of  the  guard  furnishes  the  sentinels 
required  by  the  commander  of  the  camping-party.     The  advanced  post 
takes  its  station. 

592.  The  advanced  post  of  the  old  police  guard  takes  charge  of  the 
prisoners  on  the  march,  and  marches,  bayonets  fixed,  at  the  centre  of  the 
regiment.     On  reaching  camp,  it  turns  over  the  prisoners  to  the  new 
advanced  post. 

THE    PICKET. 

593.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  the  details  for  duty 
of  the  first  class,  and  from  the  next  for  detail  on  the  roster  of  that  class. 
It  is  designed  to  furnish  detachments  and  guards  unexpectedly  called  for 
in  the  twenty-four  hours;  it  counts  as  a  tour  of  the  first  class  to  those 
who  have  marched  on  detachment  or  guard,  or  who  have  passed  the  night 
in  bivouac. 

594.  The  officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  the  picket 
are  at  all  times  dressed  and  equipped;  the  horses  are  saddled,  and  knap- 
sacks and  valises  ready  to  be  put  on. 

595.  Detachments  and  guards  from  the  picket  are  taken  from  the  head 
of  the  picket-roll  in  each  company,  and,  if  possible,  equally  from  each 
company.     The  picket  of  a  regiment  is  composed  of  a  Lieutenant,  two 
Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  a  drummer,  and  about  forty  privates.     For  a 
smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  the  detach- 
ment. 

596.  Officers  and  men  of  the  picket  who  march  on  detachment  or  guard 
before  retreat  will  be  replaced. 

597.  The  picket  is  assembled  by  the  Adjutant  at  guard-mounting;  it  is 
posted  twelve  paces  in  rear  of  the  guard,  and  is  inspected  by  its  own  com- 
mander.    When  the  guard  has  marched  in  review,  the  commandant  of 
the  picket  marches  it  to  the  left  of  the  police  guard,  where  it  stacks  its 
arms,  and  is  dismissed;  the  arms  are  under  charge  of  the  sentinel  of  the 
police  guard. 

598.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or  officer 
of  the  day.     It  forms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

599.  The  officer  of  the  day  requires  the  roll  of  .the  picket  to  be  called 
frequently  during  the  day;  the  call  is  sounded  from  the  police  guard.     At 
roll-calls  and  inspections,  infantry  pickets  assemble  with  knapsacks  on, 
cavalry  on  foot.     The  picket  is  assembled  at  retreat;  the  officer  has  the 


88  REVISED    REGULATIONS 


Grand  Guards  and  other  Outposts. 


roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.     The  picket  sleep  in  their  tents,  but 
without  undressing. 

600.  The  picket  does  not  assemble  at  night  except  in  cases  of  alarm, 
or  when  the  whole  or  a  part  is  to  march;  then  the  officer  of  the  day  calls 
the  officers,  the  latter  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  these  the  men, 
for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of  those  he  is  to  call;  they 
are  assembled  without  beat  of  drum  or  other  noise.     At  night,  cavalry 
pickets  assemble  mounted. 

601.  Pickets  rejoin  their  companies  whenever  the  regiment  is  under 
arms  for  review,  drill,  inarch,  or  battle. 

GRAND   GUARDS  AND    OTHER   OUTPOSTS. 

602.  Grand  guards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  a  camp  or  cantonment, 
and  should  cover  the  approaches  to  it.     Their  number,  strength,  and  posi- 
tion are  regulated  by  the  commanders  of  brigades;  in  detached  corps,  by 
the  commanding  officer.     When  it  can  be,  the  grand  guards  of  cavalry 
and  infantry  are  combined,  the  cavalry  furnishing  the  advanced  sentinels. 
When  the  cavalry  is  weak,  the  grand  guards  are  infantry,  but  furnished 
with  a  few  cavalry  soldiers,  to  get  and  carry  intelligence  of  the  enemy. 

603.  The  strength  of  the  grand  guard  of  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its 
object  and  the  strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  the  country,  the 
position  of  the  enemy,  and  the  disposition  of  the  inhabitants.     It  is  usually 
commanded  by  a  Captain. 

.604.  Under  the  'supervision  of  the  Generals  of  Division  and  Brigade, 
the  grand  guards  are  specially  under  the  direction  of  a  field  officer  of  the 
day  in  each  brigade.  In  case  of  necessity,  Captains  may  be  added  to  the 
roster  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and  Majors  for  this  detail. 

605.  Staff  officers,  sent  from  division  head-quarters  to  inspect  the  posts 
of  grand  guards,  give  them  orders  only  in  urgent  cases,  and  in  the  ab- 
sence of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade. 

606.  Grand  guards  usually  mount  at  the  same  time  as  the  other  guards, 
but  may  mount  before  daybreak  if  the  General  of  Brigade  thinks  it  neces- 
sary to  double  the  outposts  at  that  time.     In  this  case  they  assemble  and 
march  without  noise,  and  during  their  march  throw  out  scouts;  this  pre- 
caution should  always  be  taken  in  the  first  posting  of  a  grand  guard. 
The  doubling  of  guards  weakens  the  corps  and  fatigues  the  men,  and 
should  seldom  be  resorted  to,  and  never  when  preparing  to  inarch  or  fight. 

607.  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  the  first  instance,  by 
the  field  officer  of  the  day,  guided  by  a  staff  officer  who  accompanied  the 
General  in  his  reconnoissance.     After  the  post  has  been  established,  the 
commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  when  necessary,  a  soldier 
of  the  guard  to  guide  the  relieving  guard  to  the  post.     He  a^o  sends  to 


FOR   THE    ARMY.  89 

Grand  Guards  and  other  Outposts. 

him  in  the  evening  a  corporal  or  trusty  man  of  the  guard  for  the  note 
containing  the  parole  and  countersign,  and  sends  them  before  dark  to  the 
detached  posts.  He  will  not  suffer  his  guard  to  be  relieved  except  by  a 
guard  of  the  brigade,  or  by  special  orders. 

608.  If  there  is  no  pass  to  be  observed  or  defended,  the  grand  guarda 
are  placed  near  the  centre  of  the  ground  they  are  to  observe,  on  sheltered, 
and,  if  possible,  high  ground,  the  better  to  conceal  their  strength  and 
observe  the  enemy;  they  ought  not  to  bs  placed  near  the  edge  of  a  wood. 
When,  during  the  day,  they  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of  the  enemy, 
they  fall  back  at  night  on  posts  selected  farther  to  the  rear. 

609.  In  broken  or  mountainous  countries,  and  particularly  if  the  in- 
habitants are  ill  disposed,  intermediate  posts  must  be  established  when  it 
is  necessary  to  post  the  grand  guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

610.  Grand  guards  are  chiefly  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front;  their 
flanks  are  protected  by  each  other,  and  the  camp  must  furnish  posts  to 
protect  their  rear  and  secure  their  retreat. 

611.  Grand  guards  are   seldom  intrenched,  and  never  without   the 
»rders  of  the  General,  except  by  a  barricade  or  ditch  when  exposed  in  a 
plain  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

612.  The  General  of  Division,  if  he  thinks  proper,  changes  the  stations 
and  orders  of  these  guards,  and  establishes  posts  to  connect  the  brigades 
or  protect  the  exterior  flanks. 

613.  After  a  grand  guard  is  posted,  the  first  care  of  the  commander 
and  of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemy;  then  to 
reconnoitre  his  position,  and  the  roads,  bridges,  fords,  and  defiles.     This 
reconnoissance  determines  the  force  and  position  of  the  small  posts  and 
their  sentinels  day  and  night.     These  posts,  according  to  their  import- 
ance, are  commanded  by  officers  or  non-commissioned  officers;  the  cavalry 
posts  may  be  relieved  every  four  or  eight  hours. 

614.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  receives  detailed  instructions 
from  the  General  and  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade/  and  instructs 
the  commanders  of  the  small  posts  as  to  their  duties  and  the  arrangements 
for  defense  or  retreat.     The  commanders  of  grand  guards  may,  in  urgent 
cases,  change  the  positions  of  the  small  posts.     If  the  small  posts  are  to 
change  their  positions  at  night,  they  wait  until  the  grand  guard  have  got 
into  position  and  darkness  hides  their  movements  from  the  enemy;  then 
march  silently  and  rapidly  under  the  charge  of  an  officer. 

615.  In  detached  corps,  small  posts  of  picked  men  are  at  night  sent 
forward  on  the  roads  by  whioh  the  enemy  may  attack  or  turn  the  position. 
They  watch  the  forks  of  the  roads,  keep  silence,  conceal  themselves,  light 
no  fires,  and  often  change  place.     They  announce  the  approach  of  the 

H2 


90  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Grand  Guards  and  other  Outposts. 

enemy  by  signals  agreed  upon,  and  retreat,  by  routes  examined  during 
the  day,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at  daybreak. 

616.  Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case,  and  the  following 
in  all  eases :  to  inform  the  nearest  posts  and  the  field  officer  of  the  day, 
or  the  General  of  Brigade,  of  the  march  and  movements  of  the  enemy, 
and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear;  to  examine  every  person  passing 
near  the  post,  particularly  those  comii  g  from  without;  to  arrest  suspicious 
persons,  and  all  soldiers  and  camp-followers  who  try  to  pass  out  without 
permission,  and  to  send  to  the  General,  unless  otherwise  directed,  all 
country  people  who  come  in. 

617.  All  out-guards  stand  to  arms  at  night  on  the  approach  of  patrols, 
rounds,  or  other  parties;  the  sentinel  over  the  arms  has  orders  to  call 
them  out. 

618.  Advanced  posts  will  not  take  arms  for  inspection  or  ceremony 
when  it  would  expose  them  to  the  view  of  the  enemy. 

619.  Grand  guards  are  often   charged  with  the  care  and  working  of 
telegraphic  signals. 

620.  The  sentinels  and  vedettes  are  placed  on  points  from  which  they 
can  see  farthest,  taking  care  not  to  break  their  connection  with  each  other 
or  with  their  posts.     They  are  concealed  from  the  enemy  as  much  as 
possible  by  walls,  or  trees,  or  elevated  ground.     It  is  generally  even  of 
more  advantage  not  to  be  seen   than  to  see  far.     They  should  not  be 
placed  near  covers,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

621.  A  sentinel  should  always  be  ready  to  fire;  vedettes  carry  their 
pistols   or   carbines   in  their  hands.     A  sentinel  must  be  sure  of  the 
presence  of  an  enemy  before  he  fires;  once  satisfied  of  that,  he  must  fire, 
though  all  defense  on  his  part  be  useless,  as  the  safety  of  the  post  may 
depend  on  it.     Sentinels  fire  on  all  persons  deserting  to  the  enemy. 

622.  If  the  post  must  be  where  a  sentinel  on  it  cannot  communicate 
with  the  guard,  a  Corporal  and  three  men  arc  detached  for  it,  or  the 
sentinels  are  doubled,  that  one  may  communicate  with  the  guard.    During 
the  day  the  communication   may  be  made  by  signals,  such  as  raising  a 
cap  or  handkerchief.     At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low  ground,  the 
better  to  see  objects  against  the  sky. 

623.  To  lessen  the  duty  of  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert 
at  night,  sentinels  are  relieved  every  hour.     To  prevent  sentinels  from 
being   surprised,   it  is  sometimes  well    to  precede  the   countersign  by 
signals,  such  as  striking  the  musket  with  the  hand,  striking  the  hands 
together,  &c. 

624.  On   th'j  approach   of  any  one   at   night,  the  sentinel   orders — 
"Halt!"     If  the  order  is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  he  lires.     If 
obeyed,   he    calls-  '•'Who  goes   there?"      If  answered  —  "Rounds"   or 


FOR  THE  ARMT.  01 

Grand  Guards  and  other  Outposts. 

"Patrol"  he  says — "Stand:  Advance  one  with  the  countersign."  If 
more  than  one  advance  at  the  same  time,  or  the  person  who  advances 
fails  to  give  the  countersign  or  signal  agreed  on,  the  sentinel  fires,  and 
falls  back  on  his  guard.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms,  as  soon  as  his  hail 
is  answered,  turns  out  the  guard,  and  the  Corporal  goes  to  reconnoitre. 
When  it  is  desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  sentinel  from  the  enemy, 
the  hail  is  replaced  by  signals;  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those 
approaching  the  counter  signal. 

625.  With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are 
numerous  or  active,  and  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  night 
stormy  or  dark,  sentinels  should  be  doubled.     In  this  case,  while  one 
watches,  the  other,  called  a  flying  sentinel,  moves  about,  examining  the 
paths  and  hollows. 

626.  The   commandants  of  grand   guards  visit   the   sentinels  often 
change  their  positions  when  necessary;  make  them  repeat  their  orders 
teach  them  under  what  circumstances  and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  ana 
particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  on  their  guard  if  pursued,  but  ti 
lead  the  enemy  in  a  circuit. 

627.  At  night,  half  the  men  of  the  grand  guard  off  post  watch  undei 
arms,  while  the  rest  lie  down,  arms  by  their  side.     The  horses  are  always 
bridled;  the  horsemen  hold  the  reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

628.  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is  so  placed  as  not  to  be  liable 
to  a  sudden  attack  from  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses 
to  be  fed  during  the  night,  unbridling  for  this  purpose  a  few  at  a  time — 
the  horsemen  being  vigilant  to  prevent  them  from  escaping. 

629.  An  hour  before  break  of  day,  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to 
arms,  and  cavalry  mount.     At  the  advanced  posts,  some  of  the  infantry 
are  all  night  under  arms,  some  of  the  cavalry  on  horseback.  • 

630.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the 
hours,  and  the  march  of  patrols  and  rounds,  according  to  the  strength 
of  his  troop  and  the  necessity  for  precaution ;  and,  accompanied  by  those 
who  are  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the  night,  he  wil) 
reconnoitre  all  the  routes  they  are  to  follow. 

631.  Patrols  and  rounds  march  slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great  pre- 
caution; halt  frequently  to  listen  and  examine  the  ground.     The  rounds 
consist  of  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer,  and  two  or  three  men. 

632.  Toward  break  of  day  the  patrols  ought  to  be  more  frequent,  and 
sent  to  greater  distances.     They  examine  the  hollow-ways  and  ground 
likely  to  conceal  an  enemy,  but  with  great  caution,  to  avoid  being  cut  off, 
or  engaged  in  an  unequal  combat;  if  they  meet  the  enemy,  they  fire  and 
attempt  to  stop  his  march.     WHle  the  patrols  are  out,  the  posts  are 
under  arms. 


02  REVISED   REGULATIONS 


Grand  Guards  and  other  Outposts. 


633.  Cavalry  patrols  should  examine  the  country  to  a  greater  distance 
than  infantry,  and  report  to  the  infantry  guard  every  thing  they  observe. 
The  morning  patrols  and  scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  daylight;  and 
when  they  return,  the  night  sentinels  are  withdrawn,  and  the  posts  for 
the  day  resumed. 

634.  When  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  posts,  the  posts  and 
sentinels  should  be  warned. 

635.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patrols  report  in  regard  to  the 
ground  and  every  thing  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  the 
enemy,  or  of  his  posts,  and  the  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  reports 
to  the  field  officer  of  the  day. 

636.  The  fires  of  grand  guards  should  be  hidden  by  a  wall,  or  ditch, 
or  other  screen.     To  deceive  the  enemy,  fires  are  sometimes  made  on 
ground  not  occupied.     Fires  are  not  permitted  at  small  posts  liable  to 
surprise. 

637.  The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments ; 
during  which  the  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

638.  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless 
their  arrival  has  been  announced,  or  the  commander  is  known  to,  or  is 
the  bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the  commander  of  the  grand  guard,  he 
stops  them,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to  the  field  officer 
of  the  day,  and  warns  the  posts  near  him. 

639.  Bearers  of  flags  are  not  permitted  to  pass  the  outer  chain  of  sen- 
tinels ;  their  faces  are  turned  from  the  post  or  army ;  if  necessary,  their 
eyes  are  bandaged ;  a  non-commissioned  officer  stays  with  them  to  pre- 
vent indiscretion  of  the  sentinels. 

640.  The  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and 
sends  them  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day  or  General  of  Brigade,  and  dis- 
misses the  bearer;  but  if  he  has  discovered  what  ought  to  be  concealed 
from  the  enemy,  he  is  detained  as  long  as  necessary. 

641.  Deserters  are  disarmed  at  the  advanced  posts,  and  sent  to  the 
commander  of  the  grand  guard,  who  gets  from  them  all  the  information 
he  can  concerning  his  post.     If  many  come  at  night,  they  are  received 
cautiously ,  a  few  at  a  time.     They  are  sent  in  the  morning  to  the  field 
officer  of  the  day,  or  to  the  nearest  post  or  camp,  to  be  conducted  to  the 
General  of  the  brigade.     All  suspected  persons  are  searched  by  the  com- 
manders of  the  posts. 

642.  When  an  enemy  advances  to  attack,  unless  he  is  in  too  great 
force,  or  the  grand  guard  is  to  defend  an  intrenched  post  or  a  defile,  it 
will  take  the  positions  and  execute  the  movements  to  check  the  enemy, 
acting  as  skirmishers,  or  fighting  in  close  01   open  order,  as  may  be  best 


FOR   THE  ARMY. 


Intrenched  Posts. Detachments. 


The  guard  joins  its  corps  when  in  line,  or  when  a  sufficient  number  of 
troops  have  reached  the  ground  it  defends. 

INTRENCHED   POSTS. 

643.  Unless  the  army  be  acting  on  the  defensive,  no  post  should  be 
intrenched,  except  to  cover  the  weak  parts  of  the  line,  or  at  points  which 
the  enemy  cannot  avoid,  or  in  mountain  warfare,  or  to  close  a  defile,  or 
cover  winter  quarters. 

644.  Posts  connected  with  the  operations  of  an  army  are  intrenched 
only  by  order  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief  or  a  General  of  Divi- 
sion. 

645.  Any  intrenchment  that  requires  artillery  is  considered  as  a  post, 
and  a  guard  or  garrison  and  commander  are  assigned  to  it. 

646.  The  General  who  establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to  its  com- 
mander detailed  instructions  in  regard  to  its  defense,  and  the  circum- 
stances under  which  the  defense  should  cease. 

647.  The  commander  reconnoitres  his  post;   distributes  the  troops; 
posts  the  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers;  forms  a  reserve;  gives 
orders  for  all   contingencies  he  can  foresee;    supposes  an  attack,  and 
arranges  his  troops  for  defense,  so  as  to  prepare  them  for  attack,  day  or 
night. 

648.  In  dark  weather  he  redoubles  his  vigilance,  and  changes  the 
hours  and  direction  of  the  rounds  and  patrols.     He  permits  no  flags  of 
truce,  deserters,  or  strangers  to  enter.     If  a  flag  ought  to  pass  his  post, 
he  bandages  his  eyes.     He  refuses  admittance  to  a  relief  or  any  othei 
party  until  he  has  carefully  examined  them.     In  case  of  an  attack,  he 
does  not  wait  for  orders  or  hold  a  council.     Having  defended  his  post  to 
the  last  extremity,  or  till  the  purpose  of  the  defense,  according  to  his  in- 
structions, is  answered,  he  may  then  spike  his  guns  and  rejoin  the  army 
under  cover  of  night,  or  by  cutting  his  way  through  the  enemy. 

DETACHMENTS. 

649.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  the  different  regiments 
of  a  brigade,  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  of  the  brigade  assembles  it, 
and  turns  it  over  to  the  commander. 

650.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  different  brigades,  the 
Assistant  Adjutant-General  in  each  forms  the  contingent  of  the  brigade, 
and  sends  it  to  the  place  of  assembling. 

651.  Detachments  are  generally  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squad- 
rons, companies,  platoons  in  turn,  according  to  the  roster  for  such  detail. 

652.  When  the  detachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  every  company 
or  troop,  the  first  on  the  roster  for  guard  are  taken. 


94  REVISED   REGULATIONS 


Reconnoissances. 


653.  Officers,  non-cornmissioned  officers,  and  soldiers,  whose  tour  it  is 
to  go  on  detachment,  if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  are  relieved  from 
the  duty  they  are  on,  if  they  can  reach  camp  in  time  to  march  with  the 
detachment. 

654.  When  detachments  meet,  the  command  is  regulated  while  they 
serve  together  as  if  they  formed  one  detachment.     But  the  senior  officer 
cannot  prevent  the  commander  of  any  detachment  from  moving,  when  he 
thinks  proper,  to  execute  the  orders  he  has  received. 

655.  On  the  return  of  a  detachment, 'the  commander  reports  to  the 
head-quarters  from  which  he  received  his  orders. 

RECONNOISSANCES. 

656.  Near  an  enemy,  daily  reconnoissances  are  made  to  observe  the 
ground  in  front,  and  to  discover  whether  the  advanced  guards  of  the 
enemy  have  been  increased  or  put  in  motion,  or  any  other  sign  of  his 
preparation  for  march  or  action. 

657.  They  are  made  by  small  parties  of  cavalry  and  infantry,  from  the 
brigade,  under  direction  of  the  General  of  Division  or  the  General  of  a 
separate  brigade,  and  to  less  distance  by  the  patrols  of  the  grand  guard, 
and  are  not  repeated  at  the  same  hour  or  by  the  same  route.     On  the 
plain,  reconnoissances  are  made  by  cavalry ;  among  mountains,  by  infan- 
try, with  a  few  horsemen  to  carry  intelligence. 

658.  Reconnoitring  parties  observe  the  following  precautions  :  to  leave 
small   posts,  or   sentinels   at  intervals,   to  transmit  intelligence  to  the 
advanced  posts  of  the  army,  unless  the  return  is  to  be  by  a  different 
route ;  to  march  with  caution,  to  avoid  fighting ;  and  see,  if  possible, 
without  being  seen;  to  keep  an  advanced  guard;  to  send  well-mounted 
men  ahead  of  the  advanced  guard,  and  on  the  flank  of  the  party;  to  in- 
struct the  scouts   that   no  two  s'hould  enter  a  defile  or  mount  a  hill 
together,  but  to  go  one  at  a  time,  while  one  watches  to  carry  the  news  if 
the  other  is  taken. 

659.  Before  daybreak  the  advanced  guard  and  scouts  are  drawn  closer; 
the  party  then  march  slowly  and  silently,  stop  frequently  to  listen,  and 
keep  the  horses  that  neigh  in  the  rear.     The  party  should  enter  no  wood, 
defile,  village,  or  inclosure,  until  it  has  been  fully  examined  by  the  scouts. 

660.  Special  reconnoissances  are  made  under  the  instruction  of  the 
General  in  command,  by  such  officers  and  with  such  force  as  he  may 
direct. 

661.  Offensive  or  forced  reconnoissances  are  to  ascertain  with  certainty 
points  in  the  enemy's  position,  or  his  strength.     They  are  sometimes  pre- 
ludes to  real  actions,  and  sometimes  only  demonstrations.     They  drive  in 
bis  outposts,  and  sometimes  engags  special  corps  of  his  line.     They  are

only  made  by  the  order  of  the  General  commanding-in-chicf,  or  the  com- 
mander of  an  isolated  corps. 

662.  In  all  reports  of  reconnoissances,  the  officer  making  them  shall 
distinguish  expressly  what  he  has  seen  from  the  accounts  he  has  not  been 
able  to  verify  personally. 

663.  In  special   and   offensive  reconnoissances,  the   report   must    be 
accompanied  by  a  field-sketch  of  the  localities,  the  dispositions  and  de- 
fenses of  the  enemy. 

PARTISANS    AND    FLANKERS. 

664.  The  operations  of  partisan  corps  depend  on  the  nature  and  theatre 
of  the  war;  they  enter  into  the  general  plan  of  operations,  and  are  con- 
ducted under  the  orders  of  the  Generzw  commanding-in-chief. 

665.  The  composition  and  strength  of  partisan  corps  and  detachments 
of  flankers  depend  on  the  object,  the  difficulties,  the  distance,  and  the 
probable  time  of  the  expedition. 

666.  The  purpose  of  these  isolated  corps  is  to  reconnoitre  at  a  distance 
on  the  flanks  of  the  army,  to  protect  its  operations,  to  deceive  the  enemy, 
to  interrupt  his  communications,  to  intercept  his  couriers  and  his  corre- 
spondence, to  threaten  or  destroy  his  magazines,  to  carry  off  his  posts  and 
his  convoys,  or,  at  all  events,  to  retard  his  march  by  making  him  detach 
largely  for  their  protection. 

667.  While  these  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  and  embarrass  his  opera- 
tions, they  endeavor  to  inspire  confidence  and  secure  the  good  will  of  the 
inhabitants  in  a  friendly  country,  and  to  hold  them  in  check  in  an  enemy's 
country. 

668.  They  move  actively,  appear  unexpectedly  on  different  points  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  their  force,  or  to  tell 
whether  they  are  irregular  forces  or  an  advanced  guard. 

669.  These  operations  require  vigilance,  secrecy,  energy,  and  prompt- 
ness.    The  partisan  commander  must  frequently  supply  by  stratagem  and 
audacity  what  he  wants  in  numbers. 

670.  These  detachments  are  sometimes  composed  of  different  arms,  but 
the  service  belongs  more  particularly  to  the  light  cavalry,  which  can  move 
to  a  distance  by  rapid  marches,  surprise  the  enemj,  Attack  unexpectedly, 
and  retire  as  promptly. 

671.  Stormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat,  and  the  night  above  all,  are 
favorable  to  the  success  of  ambuscades  \  when  the  enemy  are  careless,  the 
break  of  day  is  the  best  time.     A  partisan  commander  should  communi- 
cate to  his  second  in  command  his  secret  orders,  the  direction  and  object 
of  the  expedition,  and  the  different  points  of  junction  wuh  the  army. 

672.  Guides  of  the  country  and  spies  are  often  necessary  to  the  parti- 


96  REVISED    REGULATIONS 

Partisans  and  Flankers. Marches. 

san.  They  are  examined  separately,  and  confronted  if  their  accounts 
differ.  When  there  is  but  one  guide,  he  marches  with  the  advanced 
guard,  guarded  by  two  men,  and  bound  if  necessary.  Peddlers  and 
smugglers  are  specially  suitable  for  spies. 

673.  A  fit  time  to  attack  a  convoy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to 
park,  or  when  they  are  watering,  or  passing  a  wood  or  a  defile ;  at  a  bend 
of  the  road,  a  bridge,  or  steep  ascent. 

674.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  in- 
fantry.    The  first  object  is  to  disperse  the  escort.     A  part  of  the  detach- 
ment attacks  the  main  body  of  the  escort,  another  the  wagons,  and  a  third 
is  in  reserve ;  skirmishers  line  the  road,  and  try  to  cut  the  traces,  and  to 
seize  the  front  and  rear  wagons,  and  turn  them  across  the  road,  to  prevent 
the  train  from  advancing  or  retreating. 

675.  If  the  convoy  is   parked,  the  cavalry  surrounds   it,  assails  the 
escort,  and  tries  to  draw  it  away  from  the  train.     The   infantry  then 
engage  the  troops  remaining  at  the  park,  slip  under  the  wagons,  and  get 
into  the  park.     When  the  cavalry  is  alone  and  the  enemy  are  shaken, 
they  dismount  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry. 

676.  If  it  is  a  large  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made  on  the  centre; 
the  most  valuable  wagons  are  also  selected,  and  additional  horses  are  put 
to  them  if  the  attack  is  successful.     Those  that  cannot  be  carried  off 
are  burned. 

MARCHES. 

677.  The  object  of  the  movement  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  de- 
termine the  order  of  march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and  the 
number  of  columns. 

678.  The   force   is  divided    into  as   many  columns  as   circumstances 
permit,  without  weakening  any  one  too  much.     They  ought  to  preserve 
their  communications,  and  be  within  supporting  distance  of  each  other. 
The  commander  of  each  column  ought  to  know  the  strength  and  direction 
of  the  others. 

679.  The   advance  and  rear  guards  are  usually  light  troops;   their 
strength  and  composition  depend  on  the  nature  of  the  ground  and  the 
position  of  the  enemy.     They  serve  to  cover  the  movements  of  the  army, 
and  to  hol'd  the  enemy  in  check  until  the  General  has  time  to  make  his 
arrangements. 

680.  The  advance  guard  is  not  always  at  the  head  of  the  column ;  in  a 
march  to  a  flank,  it  takes  such  positions  as  cover  the  movement.    Sappers 
are  attached  to  the  advanced  guard  if  required. 

681.  The  "general"  sounded  one  hour  before  the  time  of  marching, 
is  the  signal  to  elrike  tents,  to  load  the  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  and  send 
them  to  the  place  of  assembling.     The  fires  are  then  put  out,  and  care  taken 


FOR  THE   ARMY.  97 


Marches. 


to  avoid  burning  straw,  &c.,  or  giving  to  the  enemy  any  other  indication 
of  the  movement. 

682.  The  "march"  will  be  beat  in  the  infantry,  and  the  "advance" 
sounded  in  the  cavalry,  in  succession,  as  each  is  to  take  its  place  in  the 
column. 

683.  When  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  the  enemy,  the 
11  long  roll"  is  beat,  and  "to  horse"  sounded.     The  troops  form  rapidly 
in  front  of  their  camp. 

684.  Batteries  of  artillery  and  their  caissons  move  with  the  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached ;  the  field  train  and  ambulances  march  at  the  rear 
of  the  column  ;  and  the  baggage  with  the  rear  guard. 

685.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  march  together,  unless  the  proximity 
of  the  enemy  makes  it  necessary. 

686.  In  cavalry  marches,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  regiment, 
and,  if  possible,  each  squadron,  forms  a  separate  column,  in  order  to  keep 
up  the  same  gait  from  front  to  rear,  and  to  trot,  when  desirable,  on  good 
ground.     In  such  cases,  the  cavalry  may  leave  camp  later,  and  can  give 
more  rest  to  the  horses,  and  more  attention  to  the  shoeing  and  harness. 
Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

687.  When  necessary,  the  orders  specify  the  rations  the  men  aio  to 
carry  in  their  haversacks.     The  field  officers  and  Captains  make  inspec- 
tions frequently  during  the  march ;  at  halts  they  examine  the  knapsacks, 
valises,  and  haversacks,  and  throw  away  all  articles  not  authorized.     The 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  of  cavalry  companies  attend  per- 
sonally to  the  packs  and  girths. 

688.  When  it  can  be  avoided,  troops  should  not  be  assembled  on  high- 
roads or  other  places  where  they  interrupt  the  communication. 

689.  Generals  of  Division  and  commanders  of  detached  corps  send  a 
staff  officer  to  the  rendezvous,  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who,  on 
arriving,  take  their  place  in  the  order  of  battle,  and  form  in  close  column, 
unless  otherwise  ordered.     Artillery,  or  trains  halted  on  the  roads,  form 
in  file  on  one  side. 

690.  The  execution  of  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.     If  the 
commander  is  not  at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they  are  to  march,  the 
aext  in  rank  puts  the  column  in  motion. 

691.  If  possible,  each  column  is  preceded  by  a  detachment  of  sappers. 
t»  remove  obstacles  to  the  march,  aided,  when  necessary,  by  infantry,  or 
the  people  of  the  country.     The  detachment  is  divided  into  two  sections . 
one  stops  to  remove  the  first  obstacle,  the  other  moves  on  to  the  next. 

692.  In  night  marches,  and  at  bad   places,  and  at  cross-roads,  when 
necessary,  intelligent  non-commissioned  officers  are  posted  to  show  tho 
way,  and  are  relieved  by  the  regiments  as  they  come  UP

98  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Marches. 

693.  On  the  march  no  one  shall  fire  a  gun,  or  cry  "halt"  or  "  march" 
without  orders. 

694.  Soldiers  are  not  to  stop  for  water ;  the  canteens  should  be  filled 
before  starting. 

695.  It  is  better  to  avoid  villages  j  but,  if  the  route  lies  through  them, 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  vigilant  to  prevent  strag- 
gling.    Halts  should  not  take  place  at  villages. 

696.  Besides  the  rear  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detach- 
ment from  the  last  regiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  officers 
from   each  ^egiment,  to  examine  villages  and  all  hiding-places  on  the 
route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  marauders. 

697.  In  night  marches,  the  Sergeant-Major  of  each  regiment  remains 
at  the  rear  with  a  drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness  or  difficulty 
stops  the  march.     In  cavalry,  a  trumpet  is  placed  in  rear  of  each  squad- 
ron, and  the  signal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

698.  The  General  and  field  officers  frequently  stop,  or  send  officers  to 
the  rear,  to  see  that  the  troops  march  in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep 
their  distances.     To  quicken  the  march,  the  General  warns  the  Colonels, 
and  may  order  a  signal  to  be  beat.     It  is  repeated  in  all  the  regiments. 

699.  In  approaching  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned;  they  close  their 
legiments  as  they  come  up;  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at  an  accele- 
rated pace,  and  in  as  close  order  as  possible.     The  leading   regiment 
having  passed,  and  left  room  enough  for  the  whole  column  in  close  order, 
then  halts,  and  moves  again  as  soon  as  the  last  regiment  is  through.     In 
the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to  rejoin  the  column, 
takes  its  original  order  of  march. 

700.  When  the  distance  from  the  enemy  permits,  each  regiment,  after 
closing  up  in  front  and  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

701.  Halts  to  rest  and  re-form  the  troops  are  frequent  during  the  day, 
depending  on  the  object  and  length  of  the  march.     They  are  made  in 
preference  after  the  passage  of  defiles. 

702.  No  honors  are  paid  by  troops  on  the  inarch  or  at  halts. 

703.  The  sick  march  with  the  wagons. 

704.  Led  horses  of  officers,  and  the  horses  of  dismounted  men,  follcw 
their  regiment.    The  baggage  wagons  never  march  in  the  column.     When 
the  General  orders  the  field  train  and  ambulances  to  take  place  in  the 
column,  he  designates  the  position  they  shall  take. 

705.  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  same  road,  they  pass  to  the  right,  And 
both  continue  their  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough ;  if  it  is  not,  the 
first  in  the  order  of  battle  takes  the  road,  the  other  halts. 

706.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  be  cut  by  another.     If  two  corps 
meet  at  cross-roads,  that  which  arrives  last1  halts  if  the  «ther  is  in  motion.

Directions  for  Keeping  the  Journal. 


A  corps  in  march  passes  a  corps  at  a  halt,  if  it  has  precedence  in  the 
order  of  battle,  or  if  the  halted  corps  is  not  ready  to  move  at  once. 

707.  A  column  that  halts  to  let  another  column 'pass  resumes  the 
march  in  advance  of  the  train  of  this  column.     If  a  column  has  to  pass 
a  train,  the  train  must  halt,  if  necessary,  till  the  column  passes.     The 
column  which  has  precedence  must  yield  it  if  the  commander,  on  seeing 
the  orders  of  the  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  service. 

JOURNAL. 

708.  Commanding  officers  of  troops  marching  through  a  country  little 
known,  will  keep  journals  of  their  marches  according  to  the  form  and 
directions   hereto  annexed.     At  the   end  of  the  march  a  copy  of  the 
journal  will  be  retained  at  the  station  where  the  troops  arrive,  and  the 
original  will  be  forwarded  to  the  head-quarters  of  the  Department,  or 
corps  d'armte.     Thence,  after  a  copy  has  been  taken,  it  will  be  trans- 
mitted, through  the  head-quarters  of  the  army,  to  the  Adjutant-General, 
for  the  information  of  the  War  Department. 

709.  The  object  of  the  journal  is  to  furnish  data  for  maps,  and  inform- 
ation which  may  serve  for  future  operations.     Every  point  of  practical 
importance  should  therefore  be  noted,  even  though  not  indicated  in  these 
directions. 

DIRECTIONS    FOR    KEEPING   THE   JOURNAL. 

710.  The  journal  should  be  kept  in  a  pocket  note  book;  or,  if  one 
cannot  be  obtained,  in  a  book  made  of  sheets  of  paper  folded  to  half  the 
letter  size. 

711.  The  record  is  to  run  from  the  bottom  to  the  top  of  each  page. 

712.  The  horizontal  divisions  in  the  column  headed  "Route"  represent 
portions  of  a  day's  march.     The  distance,  in  miles,  between  each  of  the 
horizontal    divisions,  will  be  noted  in  the    column   headed  "Distance," 
which  will  be  summed  up  at  the  top  of  each  column,  and  the  sum  carried 
to  the  bottom  of  the  next  column. 

713.  The  notes  within  each  horizontal  division  are  to  show  the  general 
direction  of  the  march,  and  every  object  of  interest  observed  in  its  course. 
All  remarkable  features  of  the  country,  therefore,  such  as  hills,  streams, 
fords,  springs,  houses,  villages,  forests,  marshes,  &c.,  and  the  places  of 
encampment,  will  be  sketched  in  their  relative  positions,  as  well  as  noted 
by  name. 

714.  The  "Remarks"  corresponding  to  each  division  will  be  upon  the 
soil,   productions,   quantity  and    quality  of  timber,  grass,  water,  fords, 
nature  of  the  roads,  &c.,  and  important  incidents.     They  should  show 
where  provisions,  forage  fuel,  and  water  can  be  obtained ;  whether  the

Remarks. 


At  the  point  where  the  road  forks,  turn  to  the  right.     The  left-hand 
road  leads  to  a  deep  ravine,  which  cannot  be  crossed. 


After  the  road  strikes  the  ravine,  it  runs  one  mile  along  its  bank  be- 
fore coming  to  the  crossing-place.  The  camping-ground  is  at  springs, 
half  a  mile  beyond  the  ravine.  Old  Indian  signs  at  the  springs. 


Road  less  rocky ;  last  three  miles  rather  sandy ;  no  water.     Passed  at 
the  point  marked  f  an  Indian  grave. 


Road  still  rocky ;  good  springs,  where  casks  should  be  filled.  No  more 
water  for  twenty  miles  after  leaving  spr.'ngs.  Occasional  hills  to  left  of

streams  to  be  crossed  are  fordable,  miry,  have  quicksands  or  steep  banks, 
and  whether  they  overflow  their  banks  in  wet  seasons ;  also  the  quality 
of  the  water ;  and,  in  brief,  every  thing  of  practical  importance. 

715.  When  a  detachment  leaves  the  main  column,  the  point  on  the 
"Route"  will  be  noted,  and  the  reason  given  in  the  Remarks.     The  com- 
mander of  the  detachment  will  be  furnished  with  a  copy  of  the  journal 
up  to  that  point,  and  will  continue  it  over  his  new  line  of  march. 

POSTS. 

716.  Whenever  a  new  post  is  established,  or  a  camp,  meant  to  be  oc- 
cupied for  some  time,  the  commanding  officer  will  forward  to  the  Adju- 
tant-General's office,  as  well  as  to  the  head-quarters  of  the  Department, 
or  corps  d'armee  if  in  the  field,  an  accurate  description  of  its  locality,  of 
its  distance  and  bearings  from  the  nearest  known  point,  and  the  manner 
of  reaching  it  by  mail,  together  with  a  sketch  of  the  country  in  its  imme- 
diate vicinity. 

717.  Military  posts  will  be  named  by  the  Secretary  of  War. 

BATTLES. 

718.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  on  the  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  troops  opposed,  on  the  ground,  and  on  the  objects  of  the  war; 
but  the  following  rules  are  to  be  observed  generally : 

719.  In  attacking,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  the  enemy's 
outposts,  or  cut  them  off  from  the  main   body.     Having   done  so,  or 
driven  them  in,  it  occupies,  in  advancing,  all  the  points  that  can  cover 
•>r  facilitate  the  march  of  the  army,  or  secure  its  retreat,  such  as  bridges, 
-lefiles,  woods,  and  heights ;  it  then  makes  attacks,  to  occupy  the  enemy, 
without  risking  too  much,  and  to  deceive  them  as  to  the  march  and  pro- 
jects of  the  army. 

720.  When  the  enemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  the 
commandant  of  the  advanced  guard  sends  scouts,  under  intelligent  officers, 
to  the  right  and  left,  to  ascertain  his  position  and  movements.     If  he  does 
not  succeed  in  this  way,  he  tries  to  unmask  the  enemy  by  demonstrations ; 
threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  the  main  body ;  makes  false  attacks ; 
partial  and  impetuous  charges  in  echelon ;  and  if  all  fail,  he  makes  a 
real  attack  to  accomplish  the  object. 

721.  Detachments  left  by  the  advanced  guard  to  hold  points  in  the 
rear  rejoin  it  when  other  troops  come  up.     If  the  army  takes  a  position, 
and  the  advanced  guard  is  separated  from  it  by  defiles  or  heights,  the 
communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  from  the  main  body. 

722.  At  proper  distance  from  the  enemy,  the  troops  are  formed  for  the 
attack   in  several  lines;  if  oily  twc  can  be  formed,  some  battalions  in 


BOB    THE    ARMY. 


Battles. 


column  are  placed  behind  the  wings  of  the  second  line.  The  lines  may 
be  formed  of  troops  in  column  or  in  order  of  battle,  according  to  the 
ground  and  plan  of  attack. 

723.  The  advanced  guard  may  be  put  in  the  line  or  on  the  wings,  or 
other  position,  to  aid  the  pursuit  or  cover  the  retreat. 

724.  The  reserve  is  formed  of  the  best  troops  of  foot  and  horse,  to 
complete  a  victory  or  make  good  a  retreat.     It  is  placed  in  the  rear  of 
the  centre,  or  chief  point  of  attack  or  defense. 

725.  The  cavalry  should  be  distributed  in  echelon  on  the  wings  and  at 
the  centre,  on  favorable  ground. 

726.  It  should  be  instructed  not  to  take  the  gallop  until  within  charg- 
ing distance  ;  never  to  receive  a  charge  at  a  halt,  but  to  meet  it,  or,  if  not 
strong  enough,  to  retire  manoeuvring;  and  in  order  to  be  ready  for  the 
pursuit,  and  prepared  against  a  reverse,  or  the  attacks  of  the  reserve,  not 
to  engage  all  its  squadrons  at  once,  but  to  reserve  one-third,  in  column  or 
in  echelon,  abreast  of  or  in  the  rear  of  one  of  the  wings;  this  arrange- 
ment is  better  than  a  second  line  with  intervals. 

727.  In  the  attack,  the  artillery  is  employed  to  silence  the  batteries 
that  protect  the  position.     In  the  defense,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  fire  on 
the  advancing   troops.     In  either    case,  as   many  pieces  are  united  as 
possible,  the  fire  of  artillery  being  formidable  in  proportion  to  its  concen- 
tration. 

728.  In  battles  and  military  operations  it  is  better  to  assume  the  offen- 
sive, and  put  the  enemy  on  the   defensive;  but  to  be  safe  in  doing  so 
requires  a  larger  force  than  the  enemy,  or  better  troops,  and  favorable 
ground.     "When  obliged  to  act  on  the  defensive,  the  advantage  of  posi- 
tion and  of  making  the  attack  may  sometimes  be  secured  by  forming  in 
rear  of  the  ground  on  which  we  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at  the  mo- 
ment of  action.     In  mountain  warfare,  the  assailant  has  always  the  dis- 
advantage;  and   even    in    offensive  warfare   in  the   open    field,  it   may 
frequently  be  very  important,  when  the  artillery  is  well  posted,  and  any 
advantage  of  ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the  enemy  and  compel  him 
to  attack. 

729.  The  attack  should  be  made  with  a  superior  force  on  the  decisive 
point  of  the  enemy's  position,  by  masking  this  by  false  attacks  and  demon- 
strations on  other  points,  and  by  concealing  the  troops  intended  for  it  by 
the  ground,  or  by  other  troops  in  their  front. 

730.  Besides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  the  supposed  plan  of 
the  enemy,  the  wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported  by 
troops  in  echelon  ;  if  the  attack  of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  offensive  must 
at  once  be  taken,  to  inspire  the  troops,  to  disconcert  the  enemy,  and  often 
to  decide  the  action      In  thus  taking  the  offensive,  a  close  column  should 


106  REVISED    REGULATIONS 

Battles. 

be  pushed  rapidly  on  the  wing  or  flank  of  the  enemy.  The  divisions  of 
.his  column  form  in  line  of  battle  successively,  and  each  division  moves 
to  the  ftont  as  soon  as  formed,  in  order,  by  a  rapid  attack  in  echelon,  to 
prevent  the  enemy  from  changing  front  or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In 
all  arrangements,  especially  in  those  for  attack,  it  is  most  important  to 
conceal  the  design  until  the  moment  of  execution,  and  then  to  execute  it 
with  the  greatest  rapidity.  The  night,  therefore,  is  preferred  for  the 
movement  of  troops  on  the  flank  or  rear  of  the  enemy,  otherwise  it  is 
necessary  to  mask  their  march  by  a  grand  movement  in  front,  or  by  taking 
a  wide  circuit. 

731.  In  making  an  attack,  the  communications  to  the  rear  and  for 
retreat  must  be  secured,  and  the  General  must  give  beforehand  all  neces- 
sary orders  to  provide  for  that  event. 

732.  When  a  success  is  gained,  the  light  troops  should  pursue  the 
enemy  promptly  and  rapidly.     The  other  troops  will  restore  order  in  their 
columns,  then  advance  from  position  to  position,  always  prepared  for  an 
attack  or  to  support  the  troops  engaged. 

733.  Before  the  action,  the  Generals  indicate  the  places  where  they 
will  be;  if  they  change  position,  they  give  notice  of  it,  or  leave  a  staff 
officer  to  show  where  they  have  gone. 

734.  During  the  fight  the  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  keep 
the   men  in  the   ranks,  and   enforce  obedience  if  necessary.     Soldiers 
must  not  be  permitted  to  leave  the  ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead, — nor 
e.ven  to  assist  the  wounded  unless  by  express  permission,  which  is  only 
to  be  given  after  the  action  is  decided.     The  highest  interest  and  most 
pressing  duty  is  to  win  the  victory,  by  winning  which  only  can  a  proper 
care  of  the  wounded  be  ensured. 

735.  Before  the  action,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all  the 
necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.     He  esta- 
blishes the  ambulance  dep6ts  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants  the 
necessary  instructions  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and  other 
means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

736.  Th'e  ambulance  depot,  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  directed 
for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  established  at  the  most  convenient 
building  nearest  the  field  of  battle.    A  red  flag  marks  its  place,  or  the  way 
to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the  wounded  who  can 
walk. 

737.  The  active  ambulances  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor  the 
wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots;  for  this  purpose  the  conductors 
should  always  have  the  necessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may  have 
no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

^38.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 


FOR    THE    ARMY.  1Q7 


Battles.— Prisoners  of  War. 


Quartermaster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital 
attendants  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances.  lie 
will  send  officers  and  attendants,  when  practicable,  to  the  active 
ambulances,  to  relieve  the  wounded  who  require  treatment  before 
being  removed  from  the  ground.  He  will  see  that  the  depots  and 
ambulances  are  provided  with  the  necessary  apparatus,  medicines,  and 
stores.  He  will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at  the 
principal  depot. 

739.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the 
orders  of  the  General  to  remove  it  or  to  strengthen  its  guard. 

740.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  are  removed,  as  soon  as 
possible,  to  the  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quartermaster- 
General  of  the  army  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

741.  After  an  action,  the  officers  of  ordnance  collect  the  munitions  of 
war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  General.     The 
Quartermaster's  Department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public  property  cap- 
tured, and  makes  the  returns  to  head-quarters. 

742.  Written  reports  for  the  General  commanding-in-chief  are  made  by 
commandants  of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  squadrons,  and  by  all 
commanders  of  a  higher  grade,  each  in  what  concerns  his  own  command, 
and  to  his  immediate  commander. 

743.  When   an   officer   or   soldier  deserves  mention   for  conduct   in 
action,  a  special  report  shall  be  made  in  his  case,  and  the  General  com- 
manding-in-chief decides  whether  to  mention  him  in  his  report  to  the 
government  and  in  his  orders.     But  he  shall  not  be  mentioned  in  the* 
report  until  he  has  been  mentioned  in  the  orders  to  the  army.     These 
special  reports  are  examined  with  care  by  the  intermediate  commanders, 
to  verify  the  facts,  and  secure  commendation  and  rewards  to  the  merito- 
rious only. 

744.  The  report  of  battles,  which  must  frequently  be  made  before  these 
special  reports  of  persons  are  scrutinized,  is  confined  to  general  praise  or 
blame,  and  an  account  of  the  operations. 

PRISONERS    OP    WAR. 

745.  Prisoners  of  war  will  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  the  rear,  and 
reported  as  soon  as  practicable  to  the  head-quarters.     The  return  of  pri- 
soners from  the  Head-Quarters  of  the  Army  to  the  War  Department  will 
specify  the  number,  rank,  and  corps. 

746.  The  private  property  of  prisoners  will  be  duly  respected,  and 
each  shall  be  treated  with  the  regard  due  to  his  rank.     They  are  to  obey 
the  necessary  orders  given  them.    They  receive  for  subsistence  one  ration 
eaek.  without  regard  to  rank;  and  the  wounded  are  to  be  treated  with 


108  REVISED    REGULATIONS 

Convoys  and  their  Escorts. 

the  same  care  as  the  wounded  of  the  army.  Other  allowances  to  them 
will  depend  on  conventions  with  the  enemy.  Prisoners'  horses  will  be 
taken  for  the  army. 

747.  Exchanges  of  prisoners  and  release  of  officers  on  parole  depend 
on  the  orders  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief,  under  the  instructions 
of  government. 

CONVOYS   AND   THEIR   ESCORTS. 

748.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort  of  a  convoy  depend 
on  the  country,  the  nature  and  value  of  the  convoy,  and  the  dangers  it 
may  incur.     A  larger  escort  is  required  for  a  convoy  of  powder,  that  the 
defense  may  not  be  near  the  train. 

749.  Cavalry  is  employed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre ;  the  propor- 
tion is  larger  as  the  country  is  more  open. 

750.  Pioneers   or  working-parties  are  attached  to  convoys  to  mend 
roads,  remove  obstacles,  and  erect  defenses.     The  convoys  should  always 
be  provided  with  spare  wheels,  poles,  axles,  &c. 

751.  The  commandant  of  the  escort  should  receive  detailed  instruc- 
tions in  writing. 

752.  As  fur  as  the  defense  permits,  the  commander  of  the  escort  shall 
refer  to  the  officer  in  charge  of  the  convoy  for  the  hours  of  departure, 
the  halts,  the  parking  and  order  of  the  train,  and  the  precautions  against 
accidents. 

753.  Officers  who  accompany  the  convoy,  but  do  not  belong  to  the 
escort,  shall  exercise  no  authority  in  it  except  by  consent  of  the  com-  * 
mander.     If  these  officers  are  junior  to  the  commander,  he  may  assign 
them  to  duty  if  the  defense  requires  it. 

754.  Large  convoys  are  formed  into  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
The  distance  between  the  wagons  is  four  paces.     A  small  party  of  in- 
fantry is  attached  to  each  division. 

755.  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  the  convoy,  sub- 
sistence next,  and  then  other  military  stores ;  the  sutler  last.    But  always 
that  part  of  the  convoy  which  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall  be 
where  it  is  most  secure  from  danger. 

756.  The  commandant   should   send   out   reconnoitring   parties,   and 
never  pvit  the  convoy  in  motion  until  their  reports  have  been  received. 
He  always  forms  an  advance  and  rear  guard,  and  keeps  the  main  body 
under  his  immediate  order  at  the  most  important  point,  with  small  guards 
or  posts  at  other  points. 

757.  In  an  open  country  tha  main  body  marches  by  the  side  of  the 
road,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  convoy ;  in  other  cases  at  the  head  or 
rear  of  the  column,  as  the  one  or  the  other  is  more  exposed. 


FOR  THE   ARMY.  109 

Convoys  and  their  Escorts. 

758.  The  advance  guard  precedes  the  convoy  far  enough  t0%miove  all 
obstacles   to  its  advance.     It  examines  the  woods,  defiles,  and  villages, 
and  by  mounted  men  gives  information  to  the  commander,  and  receives 
his  orders.     It  reconnoitres  places  for  halts  and  parks. 

759.  If  the  head  of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  guard 
seizes  the  denies  and  places  which  the  enemy  might  occupy,  and  holds 
them  until  the  main  body  advances  to  the  front  and  relieves  it;  the  main 
body  holds  the  positions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy  arrives,  and  then 
leaves  detachments  which  are  relieved  by  the  parties  marching  with  the 
divisions ;  the  posts  are  not  abandoned  until  the  whole  convoy  has  passed 
and  the  position  is  no  longer  important. 

700.  When  the  rear  is  threatened,  like  measures  are  taken;  the  rear 
guard  defends  the  ground  and  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  the  bridges 


and  blocking  the  road. 


761.  If  the  flanks  are  threatened,  and  the  ground  is  broken,  and  many 
defiles  are  to  be  passed,  the  defense  of  the  convoy  becomes  more  difficult; 
the  advance  and  rear  guards  must  be  reduced,  the  flanks  strengthened,  and 
positions  which  will  cover  the  march  of  the  convoy  must  be  occupied  by 
the  main  body  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the  convoy  reaches  them, 
and  until  it  has  passed. 

762.  If  the  convoy  is  large,  and  has  to  pass  places  that  the  force  and 
position  of  the  enemy  make  dangerous,  the  loss  of  the  whole  convoy  must 
not  be  risked ;  it  must  pass  by  divisions,  which  reunite  after  the  passage. 
In  this  case  the  greater  part  of  the  troops  guard  the  first  division ;  they 
seize  the  important  points,  and  cover  them  with  light  troops,  or,  if  neces- 
sary, with  small  posts,  and  hold  them  until  all  the  divisions  have  passed. 

763.  If  there  is  artillery  in  the  convoy,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
uses  it  for  the  defense. 

764.  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defense  easbr,  the  wagons  move  in 
double  file  whenever  the  road  allows  it.     If  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at  once 
removed  from  the  road;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear;  when  it  cannot 
be  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  the  other 
wagons  kept  in  the  rear  for  that  purpose. 

765.  Convoys  by  water  are   escorted  on  the  same  principles.     Each 
boat  has  a  small  infantry  guard ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or 
follows  the  convoy  in  boats.     The  cavalry  march  opposite  the  convoy; 
the  advance  and  rear  guard  move  by  land,  and  al'  are  connected  by  flank- 
ers with  the  convoy.     Where  a  river  runs  through  a  narrow  valley,  tho 
body  of  the  infantry  moves  by  land  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  occupying 
the  heights  and  disturbing  the  convoy. 

766.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the  horses  take  brenfh  and  the 
c4ose  up.     Long  halt?  are  made  but  seldom,  ami  only  in  places 


110  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Convoys  and  their  Escorts. Baggage  Trains. 

ihat  have  been  reconnoitred  and  found  favorable  for  defense.  At  night 
the  park  is  arranged  for  defense,  and  in  preference  at  a  distance  from 
inhabited  places,  if  in  an  enemy's  country. 

767.  The  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axle  against  axle,  the 
poles  in  the  same  direction,  and  with  sufficient  space  between  the  ranks 
for  the  horses.     If  an  attack  is  feared,  they  are  parked  in  square,  tho. 
hind-wheels  outside,  and  the  horses  inside. 

768.  On  the  appearance  of  the  enemy  during  the  march,  the  com- 
mander closes  up  the  wagons  and  continues  his  march  in  order;  he  avoids 
fighting;  but  if  the  enemy  seizes  a  position  that  commands  his  road,  he 
attacks  vigorously  with  the  mass  of  his  force,  but  is  not  to  continue  the 
pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.     The  convoy  halts,  and  resumes  the  march 
when  the  position  is  carried. 

769.  When  the  enemy  is  too  strong  to  be  attacked,  the  convoy  is 
parked  in  square  if  there  is  room;  if  not,  closed  up  in  double  file;  at  the 
front  and  rear  the  road  is  blocked  by  wagons  across  it.     The  drivers  are 
dismounted  at  the  heads  of  the  horses.     They  are  not  permitted  to  make 
their  escape.     The  light  troops  keep  the  enemy  at  a,  distance  as  long  as 
possible,  and  are  supported  when  necessary,  but  prudently,  as  the  troops 
must  be  kept  in  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack. 

770.  If  a  wagon  takes  fire  in  the  park,  remove  it  if  possible ;  if  not, 
remove  first  the  ammunition  wagons,  then  those  to  leeward  of  the  fire. 

771.  When  a  whole  convoy  cannot  be  saved,  the  most  valuable  part 
may  sometimes  be  by  abandoning  the  rest.     If  all  efforts  fail,  and  there 
is  no  hope  of  succor,  the  convoy  must  be  set  on  fire  and  the  horses  killed 
that  cannot  be  saved ;  the  escort  may  then  cut  its  way  through. 

772.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisoners  of  war,  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  reach  a  village  or  strong  building  where  they  may  be  confined ;  if 
forced  to  fight  in  the  field,  the  prisoners  must  be  secured  and  made  to  lie 
down  until  the  action  is  over. 

BAGGAGE   TRAINS. 

773.  The  baggage  train  of  general  head-quarters  and  the  trains  of  the  seve- 
ral divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the  Quartermaster's 
Department.     These  officers  command  and  conduct  the  trains  under  the 
orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  head-quarters.     When  the  trains 
of  different  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of  a  division  marches 
with  the  train  of  general  head-quarters,  the  senior  Quartermaster  directs 
the  whole. 

774.  The  Regimental  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.     Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the

Baggage  Trains. 

march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  park  and  on 
the  march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of 
the  Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quartermaster  in  the  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster  of 
the  brigade,  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  The  necessary  wagon-mas- 
ters, or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with  the 
several  trains. 

775.  None  but  the  authorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.     The  wagons  of  the  several  head-quarters,  the  regimental  wagons, 
and  the  wagons  of  sutlers   authorized   by  orders  from  head-quarters  to 
march  with  the  train,  are  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

776.  When  the  train  of  head-quarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.     Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of  their 
brigades.     The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guarded,  as  far 
as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  effective  in  the  ranks;  in  the 
cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.     When  the  guard  of  a  train  is  the  escort  for 
its  defense,  the  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys  and  escorts  take  effect. 

777.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimenta 
trains  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvous.     When  otherwise,  the  order  foi 
the  movement  of  the   divisions,   brigades,  and   regiments    contains   th« 
necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  th.€ 
respective  trains.     The  several  trains  march  in  an  order  analogous  to  tin 
rank  of  the  generals,  and  the  order  of  battle  of  the  troops  to  which  they 
belong.     Trains  are  not  allowed  in   any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of  the 
troops,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  troops. 

778.  The  wagon-masters,  under  the  orders  of  the  officers  of  the  Quarter- 
master's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the  teamsters 
and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  conduct  them;  of 
who  ill  treat  their  horses,  or  who  attempt  to  pillage,  or  run  away  in  cas« 
of  attack. 

779.  The  General  commanding  the  army  and  the  Generals  of  Division 
will  not  permit  any  general  or  staff  officer,  or  regiment  under  their  orders, 
or  any  person  whatsoever,  attached  to  their  command,  to  have  more  than 
the  authorized  amount  or  means  of  transportation.     For  this  purpose  they 
will  themselves  make,  and  cause  to  be  made,  frequent  reviews  and  inspec- 
tor \B  of  the  trains.     They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is  employed  to  lead 

rivate  horse,  no  soldier  to  drive  a  private  vehicle,  and  that  no  trooper 

put  on  foot  to  lend  his  horse  to  an  officer.     They  will  not  permit  the 

wagons  of  the  artillery  or  of  the  train  to  be  loaded  with  any  thing  foreign 

to  theii   proper  service,  nor  any  public  horse,  for  any  occasion,  to   be 

harnessed  to  a  private  carriage. 


112                                REVISED   REGULATIONS 
General  Police. Safeguards. 

780.  The   officers  of   the   Quartermaster's   Department,    the    wagon- 
masters,  acd  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  the 
regulations  respecting  transportation  allowances  are  strictly  observed. 

GENERAL   POLICE. 

781.  When  necessary,  the  General-in-chief  or  General  of  Division  may 
appoint  a  provost  marshal  to  take  charge  of  prisoners,  with  a  suitable  guard, 
or  other  police  force. 

782.  Private  servants,  not  soldiers,  will  not  be  allowed   to  wear  the 
uniform  of  any  corps  of  the  army,  but  each  will  be  required  to  carry  with 
him  a  certificate  from  the  officer  who  employs  him,  verified,  for  regimental 
officers,  by  the  signature  of  the  Colonel;  for  other  officers  under" the  rank 
of  Colonel,  by  the  chief  of  their  corps  or  department. 

783.  Laundresses  permitted  to  follow  the  army  will  be  furnished  with 
certificates,  signed  as  in  the  preceding  paTagraph,  and  no  woman  of  bad 
character  will  be  allowed  to  follow  the  army.     Other  persons  with  the 
army,    not   officers   or   soldiers,    such   as   guides  of  the  country,  inter- 
preters, &c.,  will   carry  about  them  similar  certificates  from  the  head- 
quarters that  employs  them. 

784.  Deserters  from  the  enemy,  after  being  examined,  will  be  secured 
for  some  days,  as  they  may  be  spies  in  disguise;  as  opportunities  offer, 
they  will  be  sent  to  the  rear;  after  which,  if  they  are  found  lurking  about 
the  army,  or  attempting  to  return  to  the  enemy,  they  will  be  treated  with 
severity. 

785.  The  arms  and  accoutrements  of  deserters  will  be  turned  over  to 
the  Ordnance  Department,  and  their  horses  to  the  corps  in  want  of  them, 
after  being  branded  with  the  letters  "  U.  S."     The  compensation  to  be 
accorded  to  deserters,  for  such  objects,  will  be  according  to  appraisement, 
made  under  the  direction  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department.     The  en- 
listment of  deserters,  without   express   permission   from   general   head- 
quarters, is  prohibited. 

786.  It  is  forbidden  to  purchase  horses  without  ascertaining  the  right 
of  the  party  to  sell.     Stolen  horses  shall  be  restored.     Estrays,  in   the 
enemy's  country,  when  the  owner  is  not  discovered,  are  taken  for  the  army. 

787.  Plundering  and  marauding,  at  all  times  disgraceful  to  soldiers, 
when  committed  on  the  persons  or  property  of  those  whom  it  is  the  duty 
of  the  army  to  protect,  become  crimes  of  such  enormity  as  to  admit  of  no 
remission  of  the  awful  punishment  which  the  military  law  awards  against 
offenses  of  this  nature. 

SAFEGUARDS. 

788.  Safeguards   are  protections   granted   to  persons  or  property  in 


FOR   THE   ARMY. 


Safeguards. Sieges. 


foreign   parts   by  the   commanding  general,   or  by   other   commanders 
within  the  limits  of  their  command. 

789.  Safeguards    are  usually  given  to  protect  hospitals,  public  esta- 
blishments, establishments  of  religion,  charity,  or  instruction,  museums, 
depositories  of  the  arts,  mills,  post-offices,  and  other  institutions  of  public 
benefit  ;  also  to  individuals  whom  it  may  be  the  interest  of  the  army  to 
respect. 

790.  A  safeguard  may  consist  of  one  or  more  men  of  fidelity  and  firm- 
ness, generally  non-effective  non-commissioned  officers,  furnished  with  a 
paper  setting  out  clearly  the  protection  and  exemptions  it  is  intended  to 
secure,  signed  by  the  commander  giving  it,  and  his  staff  officer;  or  it 
may  consist  of  such  paper,  delivered  to  the  party  whose  person,  family, 
house,  and  property  it  is  designed  to  protect.     These  safeguards  must  be 
numbered  and  registered. 

791.  The  men  left  as  safeguards   by  one  corps  may  be  replaced  by 
another.     They  are  withdrawn  when  the  country  is  evacuated;  but  if 
not,  they  have  orders  to  await  the  arrival  of  the  enemy's  troops,  and 
apply  to  the  commander  for  a  safe-  conduct  to  the  outposts. 

792.  Form  of  a  safeguard  :

SIEGES. 

793.  In  the  following  regulations  the  besieging  force  is  supposed  to  be 
two  divisions  of  infantry  and  a  brigade  of  cavalry.     The  same  principles 
govern  in  other  cases. 

794.  The  Brigadier-Generals  of  infantry  serve,  in  turn,  as  Generals  of 
the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  of  them  are  detailed  daily,  according  to  the 

K2  8 


114  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Sieges. 

front  and  number  of  attacks;  they  superintend  the  operations,  an<? 
dispose  the  guards  of  the  trenches  to  repulse  sorties  and  protect  the 
works.  Officers  of  the  general  staff'  are  assigned  to  them  to  transmit 
their  orders  and  attend  to  the  detail?  nf  service. 

795.  The  Colonels  and  Lieutenant-Colonels  of  infantry  alternate  for 
duty  in  the  trenches;  one  or  more  are  detailed  daily;  they  superintend 
the  service  of  the  guards  and  workmen  in  the  part  of  the  work  to  which 
the  General  of  the  trenches  assigns  them,  being  posted  with  troops  of 
their  own  regiments  in  preference.     The  commandant  of  the  siege  may 
place  the  Colonels  on  the  roster  with  the  Brigadier-Generals. 

796.  The  commandants  of  engineers  and  artillery  accompany  the  first 
troops  before  the  place  to  examine  the  works  and  the  approaches.     When 
the  engineers   have  completed  the  reconnoissance  of  the  works,  and  of 
each  front  as  far  as  practicable,  the    commandant  of  engineers    makes 
a  plan  of  the  works  as  exact  and  detailed  as  possible,  and,  under  the 
instructions  of  the  General  commanding  the  siege,  draws  up  the  general 
plan  of  the  siege,  and  discusses  it  with  the  commandant  of  artillery  in 
regard  to  the  best  employment  of  that  arm.     These  officers  then  submit 
their  joint  or  separate  opinions  to  the  General,  who  decides  on  the  plan 
of  the  siege,  and  gives  the  orders  for  the  execution.     The  commandant 
of  engineers  directs  the  construction  of  all  the  works  of  siege,  under  the 
authority  of  the  General,  and  lays  before  him  every  day  a  report  of  his 
operations,  and  a  plan  showing  the  progress  of  the  attack.     The  com- 
mandant of  artillery  also  makes  daily  reports  to  the  General  of  all  that 
relates  to  his  branch  of  the  service. 

797.  The  Quartermaster-General  establishes  the  hospitals,  and  organizes 
the  means  for  transporting  the  wounded  to  them. 

798.  The  commanding  General  appoints  a  field  officer  of  the  trenches, 
•who  is  aided  by  one  or  two  Captains  or  Lieutenants. 

799.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenches  is  charged  with  all  the  details 
relative  to  the  assembling  of  the   guards  and  the  workmen.     He  dis- 
tributes the  guards  on  the  different  points  of  the  attack  agreeably  to  the 
orders  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  forms  the  detachments  of 
workmen  for  the  engineers  and  artillery ;  that  he  may  be  prepared  for 
this  distribution,  he   receives   every  day  from   the  Adjutant-General  a 
Btatement  of.  the  details  for  the  next  day. 

800  On  the  arrival  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  the  field  officer  of 
the  trenches  gives  him  all  the  information  necessary  to  enable  him  to 
station  the  troops,  attends  him  in  his  visit  to  the  trenches,  and  takes  his 
orders  on  the  changes  to  be  made  in  the  position  of  the  troops.  The 
execution  is  intrusted  to  the  commandants  of  the  troops. 

801.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenches  sees  that  men  and  litters  are 


FOR    THE    A  EM  T.  115 

Sieges. 

always  ready  to  bring  off  the  wounded.  One  or  more  companies  of  the 
guards  of  the  trenches  are  put  under  his  immediate  orders  for  the  pre- 
servation of  order  and  police  in  the  trenches. 

802.  The  divisions,  brigades,  regiments,  and  battalions  are  encamped 
during  the  siege  in  the  order  of  battle.   The  service  of  camp  is  conducted 
as  heretofore  prescribed. 

803.  The  infantry  has  two  kinds  of  siege  service, — the  guard  of  the 
trenches  and  the  work  of  the  trenches. 

804.  The  guards  of  the  trenches  mount  every  day  by  battalions,  in 
such  order  of  detail  that  all  the  troops  may  take  an  equal  share,  and  no 
part  of  the  line  be  left  too  weak.     If  only  one  battalion  is  required,  each 
division  furnishes  it  alternately;  if  two  are  required,  each  division  gives 
one ;    if  three,  one  division  furnishes  two,  the  other  one,  alternately. 
The  two  battalions  of  the  same  division  are  not  taken  from  the  same 
brigade. 

805.  The  detail  for  work  of  the  trenches  is  by  company,  from  all  the 
regiments  at  one  time,  or  in  turn,  and  continues  generally  twelve  hours. 
The  detail  from  any  regiment  should  never  be  less  than  a  company.     If 
only  half  a  company  would  be  needed  from  all  the  regiments  at  a  time, 
every  other  regiment  furnishes  a  full  company  alternately. 

806.  The  battalions  for  guard  are  detailed  at  least  twelve  hours  in  ad- 
vance;  they  furnish  no  other  details  during  this  tour.     If  the  whole 
regiment  is  called  out,  it  leaves  a  sufficient  police  guard  in  camp. 

807.  Twenty-four  hours,  or  twelve  at  least,  before  mounting  guard  in 
the  trenches,  the  battalions  detailed  for  guard  do  not  furnish  workmen ; 
and  the  companies  of  those  battalions  whose  tour  it  would  have  been  to 
work  in  the  trenches,  do  not  go  there  for  twenty-four  hours  after  guard, 
if  possible,  or  at  the  least  twelve. 

808.  The  workmen  who  are  required  for  other  work  than  that  of  the 
trenches  are  taken  from  the  roster  for  fatigue  from  the  battalions  and 
companies  not  employed  in  the  trenches. 

800.  The  battalions  first  for  detail  for  guard  of  the  trenches,  and  the 
companies  first  for  detail  for  work  in  the  trenches,  furnish  no  other  de- 
tails, and  are  held  on  picket,  ready  to  march  at  the  call  of  the  field  officer 
of  the  trenches. 

810.  Materials  for  the  siege,  such  as  fascines,  gabions,  hurdles,  pickets, 
Ac.,  are  furnished  by  the  different  corps,  in  the  proportion  ordered  by 
the  General. 

811.  Guards  and  workmen  going  to  the  trenches  march  without  beat 
of  drum  or  music. 

812.  At  all  times,  and  especially  on  the  day  the  trenches  are  opened, 


REVISED    REGULATIONS 


Sieges. 


every  thing  is  avoided  likely  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  enemy.  With 
this  view,  the  General  may  vary  the  hour  of  relieving  guards. 

813.  The  chiefs  of  engineers  and  artillery  make  requisitions  for  work- 
men in  advance,  that  the  details  may  be  made  in  time  to  prevent  any 
delay  in  the  work.     They  should  exceed  the  number  strictly  required, 
that  there  may  be  a  reserve  for  unforeseen  wants.     If  this  reserve  is 
found  insufficient,  the  General  directs  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  to 
call  on  the  picket. 

814.  Before  the  guards  and  workmen  march,  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  arranges  them  so  that  each  detachment  can  reach  its  ground 
without  confusion.     The  troops  are  posted  in  the  trenches  according  to 
the  position  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  battle,  and,  as  far  as  pos- 
sible, the  Companies  of  workmen  in  like  order.    The  reserves  of  workmen 
are  placed  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  nearest  suitable  place  to 
the  works. 

815.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  camp,  and 
march  with  their  firearms  and  cartridge-boxes,  which  they  place  near 
them  while  at  work.     They  always  carry  their  overcoats,  to  cover  them 
in  resting  or  when  wounded. 

816.  The  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  trailed,  and  the 
workmen  also,  unless  they  carry  materials  or  tools,  when  the  arms  are  in 
the  sling. 

817.  The  guards  and  detachments  of  workmen  send  a  Corporal  to  the 
openings  of  the  trenches  to  guide  the  relief.     They  march  out  of  the 
trenches  by  the  flank,  with  trailed  arms. 

818.  Sand-bags,  forming  loop-holes,  are  placed  at  intervals  on  the 
parapet  to  cover  the  sentinels  j  they  are  more  numerous  than  the  senti- 
nels, so  that  the  enemy  may  not  know  where  the  sentinels  are  placed. 

819.  When  detachments  are  placed  at  night  in  advance  of  the  trenches, 
to  cover  the  workmen,  the  men  sit  or  lie  down,  with  their  firearms  in 
their  hands,  to  hide  themselves  better  from  the  enemy  ;  the  sentinels  put 
their  ears  to  the  ground  frequently,  that  they  may  hear  troops  coming 
out  of  the  place.    To  prevent  mistakes,  the  workmen  are  told  what  troops 
cover  them. 

820.  No  honors  are  paid  in  the  trenches.     When  the  General  com- 
manding the  siege  visits  them,  the  guards  place  themselves  in  rear  ot  the 
banquette,  and  rest  on  their  arms.     The  colors  are  never  carried  to  the 
trenches  unless  the  whole  regiment  marches  to  repulse  a  sortie  or  make 
an  assault.     Even  in  this  case  they  are  not  displayed  until  the  General 
commanding  the  siege  gives  a  formal  order. 

821.  The  materials  of  the  siege  of  all  kinds,  together  with  the  tools, 
are  collected  in  part  at  the  depots  of  the  trenches,  and  in  part  at  the 


FOR    THE    ARMY.  117 


Sieges. 


openings  of  the  trenches,  or  in  such  other  place  as  has  been  appointed 
for  the  convenience  of  the  service  by  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches,  on 
the  advice  of  the  chiefs  of  artillery  and  engineers.  They  are  in  charge 
of  officers  of  engineers  and  of  artillery,  with  guards  or  non-commissioned 
officers  of  both  corps.  But  if  these  corps  cannot  furnish  them,  the 
chiefs  apply  for  assistance  from  the  infantry. 

822.  The  workmen,  in  going  to  the  trenches,  carry  such  tools  and  ma- 
terials as  are  required  by  the  artillery  and  engineers.     In  this  case,  the 
field  officer  of  the  trenches  has  notice  and  superintends  it. 

823.  The  soldiers  sent  to  the  trenches  go  with  their  cartridge-boxes 
filled.     Cartridges,  when  needed,  are  sent  to  the  trenches  on  the  re- 
quisition of  commanders  of  battalions,  approved  by  the  General  of  the 
trenches. 

824.  In  the  case  of  a  sortie,  the  guards  move  rapidly  to  the  places  that 
have  been  designated  by  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  which  afford 
the  best  defense  for  the  head  of  the  works,  the  batteries,  the  communica- 
tions, or  the  flanks,  or  best  enable  them  to  take  the  sortie  itself  in  flank 
or  reverse.     Having  lined  the  banquette  to  fire  on  the  enemy,  the  troops 
form  on  the  reverse  of  the  trench  to  receive  him.     The  workmen  take 
arms,  retain  their  positions,  or  retire  with  their  tools,  as  ordered.     The 
officers  commanding  the  detachments  of  workmen  see  that  their  move- 
ments are  made  promptly  and  in  good  order,  so  as  to  avoid  all  confusion 
in  the  communications. 

825.  The  troops  that  advance  beyond  the  trenches  to  repulse  the  sortio 
must  not  follow  in  pursuit.     The  General  takes  care  that  they  return  to 
the  trenches  before  the  retreat  of  the  sortie  allows  the  artillery  of  the 
place  to  open  on  them.     When  the  workmen  return,  the  officers  and  non- 
commissioned officers  of  the  detachments  call  the  roll  without  interrupt- 
ing the  work,  which  is  immediately  resumed. 

826.  When  it  is  necessary  to  dismount  cavalry  and  send  them  to  the 
trenches,  they  should  be  employed  as  near  their  camp  as  possible,  and 
posted  between  the  detachments  of  infantry. 

827.  Men  belonging  to  the  cavalry  may,  in  assaults,  be  employed  in 
carrying  fascines  and  other  materials  to  fill  ditches  and  make  passages. 

828.  The  general  officers  of  cavalry  are  more  particularly  employed  in 
the  service  of  posts  and  detachments  placed  in  observation  to  protect  the 
siege.     They  and  the  field  officers  of  this  arm  are  employed  in  the  com- 
mand of  escorts  to  convoys,  of  whatever  arms  the  escorts  may  be  com- 
posed.    When  these  duties  are  not  sufficient  to  employ  them,  they  take 
their  share  of  the  duty  of  the  trenches. 

829.  The  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillery  of  the  trenches  make  to 
the  General  of  the  trenches  a  return  of  all  losses  in  their  troops,  and  such 


118                               REVISED    REGULATIONS 
Sieges. Defense  of  Fortified  Places. 

other  reports  on  the  work  as  he  requires,  in  addition  to  the  reports  direct 
to  their  respective  chiefs  on  the  details  of  the  service. 

830.  At  the  end  of  each  tour,  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  draws 
up  a  report  for  the  twenty-four  hours  to  the  General  of  the  trenches. 
The  General  of  the   trenches  reports  to  the  General  commanding  the 
siege. 

831.  The  commanders  of  the  several  corps  in  the  trenches  report, 
when  relieved,  to  their  respective  head-quarters  the  losses  during  the 
tour,  and  the  conduct  of  the  officers  and  men. 

832.  However  practicable  the  breach  may  appear,  or  however  ruined 
the  works  in  rear  of  it,  the  heads  of  columns  must  always  be  supplied 
with  ladders  to  get  over  unexpected  obstacles. 

833.  The  General  commanding  the  siege  designates  picked  companies 
to  protect  property  and  persons,  and  prevent  pillage  and  violence,  from 
the  moment  the  place  is  carried.     The  officers  exert  themselves  to  re- 
strain the  men. 

834.  The  General  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protection, 
such  as  churches,  asylums,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools,  and  magazines. 
The  order  for  their  protection  should  remind  the  soldiers,  at  the  time,  of 
the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

835.  Whether  the  place  be  taken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the 
provisions  and  military  stores,  and  the  public  funds,  are  reserved  for  the 
use  of  the  army. 

836.  The  commander  of  engineers  will  keep  a  journal  of  the  siege, 
showing  the  operations  of  each  day  in  detail,  the  force  employed  on  the 
work,  the  kind  and  quantity  of  materials  used  in  them,  &c.    He  will  also 
mark  on  a  plan  of  the  ground  the  daily  progress  of  the  works,  and  make 
the  necessary  drawings  explanatory  of  their  construction. 

837.  The  commander  of  the  artillery  will  keep  a  daily  journal  of  the 
operations  under  his  direction,  showing — the  number  and  kind  of  pieces 
in  battery,  the  force  employed  in  serving  them,  the  kind  and  quantity 
of  ammunition  expended,  the  number  of  rounds  fired  from  each  piece  of 
ordnance,  the  effect  of  the  fire,  and  all  other  particulars  relative  to  his 
branch  of  the  service. 

838.  These  journals  and  drawings  will  be  sent,  after  the  siege,  with 
the  report  of  the  General,  to  the  War  Department. 

DEFENSE  OP  FORTIFIED  PLACES. 

839.  In  war,  every  commander  of  a  fortified  pkce  shall  always  hold 
himself  prepared  with  his  plan  of  defense,  as  if  at  any  time  liable  to  at- 
tack.    He  arranges  this  plan  accord:ng  to  the  probable  mode  of  attack; 
determines  the  posts  of  the  troops  ir  the  several  parts  of  the  works,  the

reliefs,  the  reserves,  and  the  details  of  service  in  all  the  corps.  He  draws 
up  instructions  for  a  case  of  attack,  and  exercises  the  garrison  according 
to  his  plan  of  defense.  In  sea-coast  works,  he  provides  the  instructions 
for  the  different  batteries  on  the  approach  of  ships. 

840.  In  framing  his  plan,  he  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior  within 
the  radius  of  attack  and  investment,  the  strength  of  the  garrison,  the 
artillery,  the  munitions  of  war,  subsistence  and  supplies  of  all  kinds,  and 
takes  immediate  measures  to  procure  whatever  is  deficient  of  troops  or 
supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  the  government  or  from  the  means  put 
at  his  disposal. 

841.  On  the  approach  of  an  enemy,  he  removes  all  houses  and  othe1" 
objects,  within  or  without  the  place,  that  cover  the  approaches,  or  inter- 
rupt the  fire  of  the  guns  or  the  movements  of  the  troops.     He  assures 
himself  personally  that  all  posterns,  outlets,  embrasures,  &c.,  are  in  proper 
state  of  security. 

842.  He  shall  be  furnished  by  the  Department  of  War  with  a  plan  of 
the  works,  showing  all  the  details  of  the  fortifications  and  of  the  exterior 
within  the  radius  of  attack ;  with  a  map  of  the  environs  within  the  radius 
of  investment;   with  a  map  of  the  vicinity,  including  the  neighboring 
works,  roads,  water-channels,  coasts,  &c.;  with  a  memoir  explaining  the 
situation  and  defense  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and  bearings  of  the 
several  works  on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by  land  and  water — 
ali  which  he  carefully  preserves,  and  communicates  only  to  the  council 
of  defense. 

843.  He  consults  his  next  in  ran£,  and  the  senior  officer  of  the  en- 
gineers and  of  the  artillery,  either  separately  or  as  a  council  of  defense. 
In  the  latter  case  he  designates  an  officer  to  act  as  secretary  to  the  coun- 
cil, and  to  record  their  proceedings  and  their  joint  or  separate  opinions, 
which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  the  siege.     The  members  may  record 
their  opinions  under  their  own  signature.     In  all  cases,  the  commander 
decides  on  his  own  responsibility. 

844.  The  commander  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of 
artillery,  shall  keep  journals  of  the  defense,  in  which  shall  be  entered, 
in  order  of  date,  without  blank  or  interlineation,  the  orders  given  or  re- 
ceived, the  manner  in  which  they  are  executed,  their  results,  and  every 
event  and   circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  defense. 
These  journals  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defense  shall  be 
sent  after  the  siege  to  the  Department  of  War. 

845.  There  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  place, 
to  be  sent  after  the  siege  to  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  en 
virons,  a  plan  of  the  fortifications,  and  a  special  plan  of  the  front  of 
attack,  on  which  the  chief  engineer  will  trace,  in  succession,  the  positions

occupied,  and  the  works  executed  by  the  enemy  from  the  investment; 
and  also  the  works  of  counter  approach  or  defense,  and  the  successive 
positions  of  the  artillery  and  other  troops  of  the  garrison  during  the  pro- 
gress of  the  siege. 

846.  The  commander  shall  defend  in  succession  the  advanced  works, 
the  covered  way  and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  and  the  interior 
intrenchments.     He  will  not  be  content  with  clearing  away  the  foot  of 
the  breaches,  and  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines,  and  all  the  means 
used  in  sieges ;  but  he  shall  begin  in  good  time,  behind  the  bastions  or 
front  of  attack,  the  necessary  intrenchments  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
main  work. 

847.  He  shall  use  his  means  of  defense  in  such  manner  as  always  to 
have  a  reserve  of  fresh  troops,  chosen  from  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist 
assaults,  retake  the  outworks,  and  especially  to  resist  the  assaults  on  the 
body  of  the  place  ]  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  the  last  period  of  jthe 
siege,  and  of  ammunition  for  the  last  attacks. 

848.  He  must,  in  every  case,  compel  the  besieging  force  to  approach 
by  the  slow  and  successive  works  of  siege,  and  must  sustain  at  least  one 
assault  on  a  practicable  breach  in  the  body  of  the  place. 

849.  When  the  commander  thinks  that  the  end  of  the  defense  has 
come,  he  shall  still  consult  the  council  of  defense  on  the  means  that  may 
remain  to  prolong  the  siege.     But  in  all  cases  he  alone  will  decide  on  the 
time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.     In  the  capitulation,  he  shall 
not  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  than  for  the  garrison,  but  shall 
share  their  fate,  and  exert  his  besfc  endeavors  for  the  care  of  the  troops, 
and  especially  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

850.  No  commander  in  the  field  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies  from 
any  fortified  place,  or  exercise  any  authority  over  its  commandant,  unless 
it  has  been  put  subject  to  his  orders  by  competent  authority. 

ARTICLE   XXXVII. 

TROOPS  ON  BOARD  OF  TRANSPORTS. 

851.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  selec- 
tion of  the  transports,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  seaworthy 
and  proper  for  such  service,  and  that  suitable  arrangements  are  made  in 
them  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

852.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officer  commanding  the  troops  to  be 
embarked,  the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  officer  charged 
with  the  embarkation  shall  cause  her  to  be  inspected  by  competent  and 
experienced  persons. 


FOR  THE   ARMY.  121 


Troops  on  board  of  Transports. 


858.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to  quarters, 
equal  parties  on  each  side  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  allowed  to  loiter 
or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable,  the  men  of  each 
company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel,  and  the  squads, 
in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

854.  Arms  will  be  so  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  to  be  secure  from 
injury,  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly — bayonets  unfixed 
and  in  scabbard. 

855.  Ammunition  in  cartridge-boxes  to  be  so  placed  as  to  be  entirely 
secure  from  fire ;  reserve  ammunition  to  be  reported  to  the  master  of  the 
transport,  with  request  that  he  designate  a  safe  place  of  deposit.     Fre- 
quent inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  ammunition,  to  insure  its 
safety  and  good  condition. 

856.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

857.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels  required. 
At  sea  the  guard  will  mount  with  side-arms  only.     The  officer  of  the 
guard  will  be  officer  of  the  day. 

858.  Sentinels  will  be  kept  over  the  fires,  with  buckets  of  water  at 
hand,  promptly  to  extinguish  fires.     Smoking  is  prohibited  between  decks 
or  in  the  cabins,  at  all  times ;  nor  shall  any  lights  be  allowed  between 
decks,  except  such  ship  lanterns  as  the  master  of  the  transport  may  direct, 
or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  execution  of  his  duty. 

859.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
cook  in  turn ;  no  others  than  those  whose  turn  it  is,  will  be  allowed  to 
loiter  around  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places. 

860.  The  commanding  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  concert  with 
the  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  that  in  case 
of  alarm,  by  storm,  or  fire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every  man  may 
repair  promptly  to  his  station.     But  he  will  take  care  not  to  crowd  tne 
deck.     The  troops  not  wanted  at -the  guns  or  to  assist  the  sailors,  and 
those  who  cannot  be  advantageously  employed  with  small  arms,  will  be 
formed  as  a  reserve  between  decks. 

861.  Ail  the  troops  will  turn  out  at  ,  A.M.,  without  arms  01 

uniform,  and  (in  warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings ;  when  every 
individual  will  be  clean,  his  hands,  face,  and  feet  washed,  and  his  hair 
combed.     The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty  minutes 
before  sunset.     The  cooks  alone  may  be  exempted  from  one  of  these 
inspections  per  day,  if  necessary. 

862.  Recruits  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  and 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weather  will 
permit. 


122  .      REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Troops  on  board  of  Transports. 

863.  Officers  will  enforce  cleanliness  as  indispensable  to  health.  When 
the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  be  brought  on  deck  every  morning 
for  airing.  Tubs  may  be  fixed  on  the  forecastle  for  bathing,  or  the  men 
may  be  placed  in  the  chains  and  hive  buckets  of  water  thrown  over  them. 
•  864.  Between  decks  will  not  be  washed  oftener  than  once  a  week,  and 
paly  when  the  weather  is  fine.  The  boards  of  the  lower  berths  will  be 
removed  once  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  ^traw.  Under  the  direction 
of  the  Surgeon  and  the  officer  of  the  day,  frequent  fumigations  will  be 
performed  between  decks.  The  materials  required  are — common  salt, 
four  ounces;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  ounce;  sulphuric  acid, 
one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces  of  water.  The  diluted  acid  is  poured 
over  the  other  ingredients  in  a  basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand-bath.  Solu- 
tions of  chloride  of  lime  and  chloride  of  zinc  are  excellent  disinfecting 


865.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  will  be 
desired  to  provide  wind-sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hung  up, 
and  frequently  examined,  to  see  that  they  draw  well  and  are  not  ob- 
structed. 

866.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies  visit  the  cam- 
boose,  and  see  that  the  messes  are  well  prepared.     The  coppers  and  other 
cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed,  both  before  and 
after  use. 

867.  The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  or  at  an 
earlier  hour  when  there  is  a  prospect  of  bad  weather;   and   at  tattoo 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.     To  insure  the  execution  of 
this  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  day,  with  a  lantern,  will  make  a  tour 
between  decks. 

868.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  at  tattoo,  except  such  as  are  placed 
under  sentinels.     The  officer  of  the  day  will  see  to  it,  and  report  to  the 
commanding   officer.     The   officers'    lights  will  be  extinguished  at  10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

869.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troops  will  be  occasionally  called  to 
quarters  by  the  beat  to  arms.  f  Those  appointed  to  the  guns  will  be  fre- 
quently exercised  in  the  use  of  them.     The  arms  and  accoutrements  will 
be  frequently  inspected.     The  metallic  pa:*ts  of  the  former  will  be  often 
wiped  and  greased  again. 

870.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  on  deck  in  hot  weather  or 
in  the  sun ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  succession,  when  necessary. 

871.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  Surgeon  will  examits  the 
jnen,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease.

Troops  on  board  of  Transports. 


872.  The  sick  will/ as  far  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the  healthy 
men.     On  the  first  appearance  of  mal'  gnant  contagion,  a  signal  will  be 
made  for  the  hospital  vessel  (if  there  be  one  in  company),  and  the  dis- 
eased men  removed  to  her. 

873.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicines  will  be  taken  on 
each  vessel,  and  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent. 

874.  The  Surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  approach- 
ing a  hot  climate.     In  passing  through  the  West  Indies,  to  the  southern 
coast  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  ihose  latitudes, 
great  care  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would  not  be  com- 
petent to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages,  are  prejudi- 
cial. 

875.  In  harbor,  where  there  is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may 
bathe ;  but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat. 

876.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel  for  the  transportation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  made  for  conveniently  feed- 
ing and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough  weather 
by  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  breeching,  or  by  other  suitable 
means ;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by  openings  in 
the  upper  deck,  wind-sails,  &c.     The  ventilation  of  steamers  may  be 
assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

877.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise  or  when 
heated.     In  hoisting  them  on  board,  the  slings  should  be  made  fast  to  a 
hook  at  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so  that 
it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.     The  horse  should  be  run  up 
quickly,  to  prevent  him  from  plunging,  and  should  be  steadied  by  guide 
ropes.     A  halter  is  placed  on  him  before  he  is  lifted  from  the  ground. 

878.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  are  not  over-fed ; 
bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.     The  face,  eyes,  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours,  and,  occasionally, 
the  mangers  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horses  sponged 
with  vinegar  and  water. 

879.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the  cargo 
of  each  should  be  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as  may  be 
available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  and  they  should 
be  placed  on  board  in  such  a  manner  that  they  may  be  easily  reached,  in 
the  order  in  which  they  are  required  for  service.     Each  store-ship  should 
be  marked,  at  the  bow  and  stern,  on  both  sides,  in  large  characters,  with 
a  distinctive  letter  and  number.     A  list  is  to  be  made  of  the  stores  on 
board  of  each  vessel,  and  of  the  place  where  they  are  to  be  found  in  it ; 
a  copy  of  this  list  to  be  sent  to  the  chief  officer  of  the  proper  depart- 
ment in  the  expedition,  or  at  the  place  of  destination.

884.  In  the  detail  the  members  will  be  named,  and  they  will  take 
place  in  the  court,  in  the  order  of  their  rank.     A  decision  of  the  proper 
authority  in  regard  to  the  rank  of  the  members  cannot  be  reversed  by 
the  court. 

885.  The  place  of  holding  a  court  is  appointed  by  the  authority  con- 
vening it. 

886.  Application  for  delay  or  postponement  of  trial  must,  when  prac- 
ticable, be  made  to  the  authority  convening  the  court.     When  made  to 
the  court,  it  must  be  before  plea,  and  will  then,  if  in  the  opinion  of  the

decide  whether  the   court  should  be  adjourned  or  dissolved,  and  the 
charges  reserved  for  another  court. 

887.  Upon  application  by  the  accused  for  postponement  on  the  ground 
of  the  absence  of  a  witness,  it  ought  distinctly  to  appear  on  his  oath,  1st. 
that  the  witness  is  material,  and  how;  2d.  that  the  accused  has  used  due 
diligence  to  procure  his  attendance;   and,  3d.  that  he  has  reasonable 
ground  to  believe,  and  does  believe,  that  he  will  be  able  to  procure  such 
'.ttendance  within  a  reasonable  time  stated. 

888.  The  President  of  a  court-martial,  besides  his  duties  and  privileges 
is  member,  is  the  organ  of  the  court,  to  keep  order  and  conduct  its  busi- 
ness.    He  speaks  and  acts  for  the  court  in  each  case  where  the  rule  has 
been  prescribed  by  law,  regulation,  or  its  own  resolution.     In  all  their 
leliberations  the  law  secures  the  equality  of  the  members. 

889.  The  76th  Article  of  War  does  not  confer  on  a  court-martial  the 
power  to  punish  its  own  members.     For  disorderly  conduct,  a  member  is 
liable  as  in  other  offenses  against  military  discipline;  improper  words  are 
to  be  taken  down,  and  any  disorderly  conduct  of  a  member  reported  to 
'ihe  authority  convening  the  court. 

890.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  summon  the  necessary  witnesses  for 
the  trial;  but  he  shall  not  summon  any  witness  at  the  expense  of  the. 
United  States,  nor  any  officer  of  the  army,  without  the  order  of  the  court, 
unless  satisfied  that  his  testimony  is  material  and  necessary  to  the  ends 
of  justice. 

891.  Every  court-martial  shall  keep  a  complete  and  accurate  record 
of  its  proceedings,  to  be  authenticated  by  the  signatures  of  the  President 
and  Judge  Advocate;  who  shall  also  certify,  in  like  manner,  the  sentence 
pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.     The  record  must  show  that  the 
court  was  organized  as  the  law  requires;  that  the  court  and  Judge  Advo- 
cate were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner;  that  he  was  pre- 
viously asked  whether  he  had  any  objection  to v  any  member,  and  his 
answer   thereto.     A   copy  of  the   order   appointing   the   court  will  be 
entered  on  the  record  in  each  case. 

892.  Whenever  the  same  court-martial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one, 
ind  they  are  arraigned  on  separate  and  distinct  charges,  the  court  is  to 
oe  sworn  at  the  commencement  of  each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in 
each  case  will  be  made  up  separately.

894.  No  recommendation  will  be  embraced  in  the  body  of  the  sen- 
tence.    Those  members  only  who  concur  in  the  recommendation  will 

ign  it. 

895.  The  legal  punishments  for  soldiers  by  sentence  of  a  court-martial 
according  to  the  offense,  and  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court,  are — death  j 
confinement;  confinement  on  bread  and  water  diet;  solitary  confinement; 
hard  labor;  ball  and  chain;  forfeiture  of  pay  and  allowances;  discharges 
from  service;  and  reprimands,  and,  when  non-commissioned  officers,  re- 
duction to  the  ranks.     Ordnance  Sergeants  and  Hospital  Stewards,  how- 
ever, though  liable  to  discharge,  may  not  be  reduced.     Nor  are  they  to 
be  tried  by  regimental  or  garrison  courts-martial,  unless  by  special  per- 
mission of  the  department  commander.     Solitary  confinement,  or  con- 
finement on  bread  and  water,  shall  not  exceed  fourteen  days  at  a  time, 
with  intervals  between  the  periods  of  such  confinement  not  less  than 
such  periods;  and  not  exceeding  eighty-four  days  in  any  one  year. 

896.  The  Judge  Advocate   shall   transmit  the  proceedings,  without 
delay,  to  the  officer  having  authority  to  confirm  the  sentence,  who  shall 
state,  at  the  end  of  the  proceedings  in  each  case,  his  decision  and  orders 
thereon. 

897.  The  original  proceedings  of  all  general  courts-martial,  after  the 
decision  on  them  of  the  reviewing  authority,  and  all  proceedings  that 
require  the  decision  of  the  President  under  the  65th  and  89th  Articles 
of  War,  and  copies  of  all  orders  confirming  or  disapproving,  or  remitting, 
the  sentences  of  courts-martial,  and  all  official  communications  for  the 
Judge  Advocate  of  the  army,  will  be  addressed  to  "  The  Adjutant- Gene- 
ral of  the  Army,   War  Department"   marked    on    the    cover,  "Judge 
Advocate." 

898.  The  proceedings  of  garrison  and  regimental  courts-martial  will  be 
transmitted  without  delay  by  the  garrison  or  regimental  commander  to 
the  department  head-quarters  for  the  supervision  of  the  department  com- 
mander. 

899.  The  power  to  pardon  or  mitigate  the  punishment  ordered  by  a 
oeurt-martial  is  vested  in  the  authority  confirming  the  proceedings,  and 
in  the  President  of  the  United  States.     A  superior  military  commander 
to  the  officer  confirming  the  proceedings  may  suspend  the  execution  of 
the  sentence  when,  in  his  judgment,  it  is  void  upon  the  face  of  the  pro 
ceedings,  or  when  he  sees  a  fit  case  for  executive  clemency.     In  such 
cases,  the  record,  with  his  order  prohibiting  the  execution,  shall  be  trans- 
mitted for  the  final  orders  of  the  President.

the  luembers  will  return  to  their  respective  posts  and  duties  unless  other- 
wise ordered. 

901.  When  a  court  adjourns  for  three  days,  the  Judge  Advocate  shall 
report  the  fact  to  the  commander  of  the  post  or  troops,  and  the  members 
belonging  to  the  command  will  be  liable  to  duty  during  the  time. 


ARTICLE  XXXIX. 

•  WORKING-PARTIES. 

902.  When  it  is  necessary  to  employ  the  army  at  work  on  fortifica- 
tions, in  surveys,  in  cutting  roads,  and  other  constant  labor  of  not  less 
than  ten  days,  the  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  so  employed  are 
enrolled  as  extra-duty  men,  and  are  allowed  twenty-five  cents  a  day  when 
employed  as  laborers  and  teamsters,  and  forty  cents  a  day  when  employed 
as  mechanics,  clerks,  storekeepers,  &c.,  at  all  stations  east  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains,  and  thirty-five  and  fifty  cents  per  day,  respectively,  at  all 
stations  west  of  those  mountains.     But  no  man  shall  be  rated  and  paid 
as  a  clerk  or  mechanic,  who  is  not  skilled  in  his  particular  employment  ] 
nor  any  man  as  a  storekeeper,  &c.,  whose  trust  is  not  of  sufficient  import- 
ance.    Mere  strikers,  inferior  workmen,  &c.  shall  be  rated  as  laborers 
Commanding  officers  will  particularly  see  to  this  j    nor  shall  any  soldier 
be  rated  at  the  higher  pay,  except  by  their  order. 

903.  Enlisted  men  of  the  Ordnance  and  Engineer  Departments,  and 
artificers  of  artillery,  are  not  entitled  to  this  allowance  when  employed  in 
their  appropriate  w^rk. 

904.  Soldiers  will  not  be  employed  as  extra-duty  men  for  any  labor  in 
camp  or  garrison  which  can  properly  be  performed  by  fatigue  parties. 

905.  No  extra-duty  men,  except  those  required  for  the  ordinary  service 
of  the  Quartermaster,  Commissary,  and  Medical  Departments,  and  sad- 
dlers in  mounted  companies,  will  be  employed  without  previous  authority 
from  department  head-quarters,  except  in  case  of  necessity,  which  shall 
be  promptly  reported  to  the  department  commander. 

906.  Extra-duty  men  should  attend  the  weekly  and  monthly  inspec- 
tions of  their  companies,  and,  if  possible,  one  drill  in  every  week. 

907.  Extra-duty  pay  of  the  saddler  in  a  mounted  company  will   be 
charged  on  the  company  muster-roll,  to  be  paid  by  the  Paymaster  and 
refunded  by  the  Ordnance  Department.      Extra-duty  pay  of  cooks  and 
nurses  in  the  hospital  service  will  be  paid  by  the  quartermaster,  in  the

directions  and  plans  of  the  engineer  or  other  officer  directing  the  work, 
without  regard  to  rank. 

909.  A  day's  work  .shall  not  exceed  ten  hours  in  summer,  nor  eight  in 
winter.     Soldiers  are  paid  in  proportion  for  any  greater  number  of  hours 
they  are  employed  each  day.     Summer  is  considered  to  commence  on  the 
]  st  of  April,  and  winter  on  the  1st  of  October. 

910.  Although  the  necessities  of  the  service  may  require  soldiers  to  be 
ordered  on  working-parties  as  a  duty,  commanding  officers  are  to  bear  in 
mind  that  fitness  for  military  service  by  instruction  and  discipline  is  the 
object  for  which  the  army  is  kept  on   foot,  and  that  they  are  not  to 
employ  the  troops  when   not  in  the  field,  and  especially  the  mounted 
troops,  in  labors  that  interfere  with  their  military  duties  and  exercises, 
except  in  case  of  immediate  necessity,  which  shall  be  forthwith  reported 
for  the  orders  of  the  War  Department.

DUTIES    OF    SUPERINTENDENTS. 

915.  As  soon  as  a  recruiting  station  is  designated,  the  superintendent 
sends  estimates  for  funds  to  the  Adjutant-General,  and  requisitions  on 
the  proper   departments   (through   the  Adjutant-General)  for  clothing, 
camp  equipage,  arms,  and  accoutrements. 

916.  Subsequent  supplies  for  the  station  in  his  district  are  procured

917.  Funds  and  supplies  of  clothing,  camp  and  garrison   equipage, 
arms  and  accoutrements,  when  ordered,  will  be  sent  direct  to  each  station. 

918.  For  subsistence  to  recruiting  stations,  see  regulations  of  the  Sub- 
sistence Department.     When  army  rations  are  issued  for  recruits,  savings 
on  the  rations  shall  be  applied  for  their  benefit,  as  in  companies. 

919.  The  superintendents  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant-General  conso- 
lidated  monthly  returns  of  the  recruiting   parties  under   their   super- 
intendence, according  to  directions  on  the  printed  blanks,  accompanied  by 
one  copy  of  the  enlistment  of  each  recruit  enlisted  within  the  month. 

920.  When  recruits  should  be  sent  to  regiments,  a  superintendent  will 
report  to  the  Adjutant-General  for  instructions  in  reference  thereto. 

921.  When  recruits  are  sent  from  a  depot  or  rendezvous  to  a  regiment 
or  post,  a  muster  and  descriptive  roll,  and  an  account  of  clothing  of  the 
detachment,  will  be  given  to  the  officer  assigned  to  the  command  of  it. 
And  a  duplicate  of  the  muster  and  descriptive  roll  will  be  forwarded  to 
the  Adjutant-General  by  the  superintendent,  who  will  note  on  it  the 
names  of  all  the  officers  on  duty  with  the  detachment,  and  the  day  of  its 
departure  from  the  depdt  or  rendezvous. 

922.  The  superintendent  will  report  all  commissioned  or  non-commis- 
sioned officers  who  may  be  incapable  or  negligent  in  the  discharge  of 
their  functions.     Where  a  recruiting  party  fails  to  get  recruits  from  any 
cause  other  than  the  fault  of  the  officer,  the  superintendent  will  recom- 
mend another  station  for  the  party. 

923.  When  a  rendezvous  is  closed,  the  superintendent  will  give  the 
necessary  instructions  for  the  safe-keeping  or  disposal  of  the  public  pro- 
perty, so  as  not  to  involve  any  expense  for  storage. 

924.  Tours  of  inspection  by  superintendents  will  be  made  only  on 
inntructions  from  the  Adjutant-General's  Off.  "e.     Officers  on  the  recruit-

iog  service  will  not  be  sent  from  place  to  place  without  orders  from  the 
same  source. 

DUTIES    OF   RECRUITING    OFFICERS. 

925.  Success  in  obtaining  recruits  depends  much  on  the  activity  and 
personal  attention  of  recruiting  officers,  and  they  will  not  entrust  to  en- 
listed men  the  duties  for  which  themselves  only  are  responsible.     They 
will  in  no  case  absent  the.nselves  from  their  stations  without  authority 
from  the  superintendent. 

926.  They  will  not  allow  any  man  to  be  deceived  or  inveigled  into  the 
service  by  false  representations,  but  will  in  person  explain  the  nature  of 
the  service,  the  length  of  the  term,  the  pay,  clothing,  rations,  and  other 
allowances  to  which  a  soldier  is  entitled  by  law,  to  every  man  before  he 
signs  the  enlistment. 

927.  If  minors  present  themselves,  they  are  to  be  treated  with  great 
candor ;  the  names  and  residences  of  their  parents  or  guardians,  if  they 
have  any,  must  be  ascertained,  and  these  will  be  informed  of  the  minor's 
wish  to  enlist,  that  they  may  make  their  objections  or  give  their  consent. 

928.  With  the  sanction  of  superintendents,  recruiting   officers   may 
insert,  in  not  exceeding  two  newspapers,  brief  notices  directing  attention 
to  the  rendezvous  for  further  information. 

929.  Any  free  white  male  person  above  the  age  of  eighteen  and  under 
thirty-five  years,  being  at  least  five  feet  three  inches  high,  effective,  able- 
bodied,  sober,  free  from  disease,  of  good  character  and  habits,  and  with  a 
competent  knowledge  of  the  English  language,  may  be  enlisted.      This 
regulation,  so  far  as  respects  the  height  and  aye  of  the  recruit,  shall  not 
extend  to  musicians  or  to  soldiers  who  may  " re-enlist"  or  have  served 
honestly  and  faithfully  a  previous  enlistment  in  the  army. 

930.  No  man  having  a  wife  or  child  shall  be  enlisted  in  time  of  peace 
without  special  authority  obtained  from   the  Adjutant-General's  Office, 
through  the  superintendent.     This  rule  is  not  to  apply  to  soldiers  who 
"re-enlist." 

931.  No  person  under  the  age  of  twenty-one  years  is  to  be  enlisted  or 
re-enlisted  without  the  written  consent  of  his  parent,  guardian,  or  master. 
The  recruiting  officers  must  be  very  particular  in  ascertaining  the  truo 
age  of  the  recruit. 

932.  After  the  nature  of  the  service  and  terms  of  enlistment  have  been 
fairly  explained  to  the  recruit,  the  officer,  before  the  enlistments  are  filled 
up,  will  read  to  him,  and  offer  for  his  signature,  the  annexed  declaration, 
to  be  appended  to  each  copy  of  his  enlistment: 

1, ,  desiring  to  enlist  in  the  Army  of  the  United  States  for  the 

period  of  five  years,   do  declare  that  I  am years  and 

months  of  age;  that  I  have  neither  wife  nor  child;  that  I  have  never

been  discharged  from  the  United  States  service  on  account  of  disability, 
or  by  sentence  of  a  court-martial,  or  by  order  before  the  expiration  of  a 
term  of  enlistment;  and  I  know  of  no  impediment  to  my  serving  honestly 
and  faithfully  as  a  soldier  for  five  years. 
Witness  : 


933.  If  the  recruit  be  a  minor,  his  parent,  guardian,  or  master  must 
sign  a  consent  to  his  enlisting,  which  will  be  added  to  the  preceding  de- 
claration, in  the  following  form : 

I, ,  do  certify  that  I  am  the  (father,  only  surviving  parent,  legal 

master,  or  guardian,  as  the  case  may  be~)  of ;  that  the  said is 

years  of  age ;  and  I  do  hereby  freely  give  my  consent  to  his  en- 
listing as  a  soldier  in  the  Army  of  the  United  States  for  the  period  of  five 
years. 

Witness : 


934.  The  forms  of  declaration,  and  of  consent  in   case  of  a  minor, 
having  been  signed  and  witnessed,  the  recruit  will  then  be  duly  examined 
by  the  recruiting  officer,  and  surgeon  if  one  be  present,  and,  if  accepted, 
the  20th  and  87th  Articles  of  War  will  be  read  to  him;  after  which  he 
will  be  allowed  time  to  consider  the  subject  until  his  mind  appears  to  be 
fully  made  up  before  the  oath  is  administered  to  him. 

935.  As  soon  as  practicable,  and  at  least  within  six  days  after  his  en- 
listment, the  following  oath  will  be  administered  to  the  recruit : 

"I,  A —  B — ,  do  solemnly  swear  or  affirm  (as  the  case  may  be)  that  1 
•will  bear  true  allegiance  to  the  United  States  of  America,  and  that  I  will 
serve  them  honestly  and  faithfully  against  all  their  enemies  or  opposers 
whatsoever,  and  observe  and  obey  the  orders  of  the  President  of  the 
United  States,  and  the  orders  of  the  officers  aj pointed  over  me,  according 
to  the  rules  and  articles  for  the  government  of  the  armies  of  the  United 
States."  (See  10th  Art.  of  War.) 

936.  Under  the  llth  section  of  the  act  of  3d  August,  1861,  chap.  42, 
the  oath  of  enlistment  and  re-enlistment  may  be  administered  by  any  com- 
missioned officer  of  the  army. 

937.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  recruiting  officer  to  be  present  at  the  exami- 
nation of  the  recruit  by  the  medical  officer.   (See  par.  1261.) 

938.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  employ  private  physicians  without 
authority  from  the  Adjutant-General's  Office,  for  the  special  purpose  of 
examining  the  recruits  prior  to  their  enlisting. 

939.  If  it  be  necessary,  as  in  case  of  sickness,  to  employ  a  physician, 
the  recruiting  officer  may  engage  his  services  by  contract  on  reasonable 
terms,  "by  the  visit,"  or  by  the  mon*;h.     If  by  the  month,  the  examina- 


132  REVISED    REGULATIONS 

Duties  of  Recruiting  Officers. 

tion  of  the  recruits  must  be  stated  in  the  contract  as  part  of  his  duty. 
In  vouchers  for  medical  attendance  and  medicines,  the  name  of  each 
patient,  date  of,  and  charge  for,  each  visit,  and  for  medicine  furnished, 
must  be  given,  and  the  certificate  of  the  physician  added,  that  the  rates 
charged  are  the  usual  rates  of  the  place.  The  physician  will  be  paid  from 
the  recruiting  funds. 

940.  Enlistments  must,  in  all  cases,  be  taken  in  triplicate.     The  re- 
cruiting officer  will  send  one  copy  to  the  Adjutant-General  with  his  quar- 
terly accounts,  a  second  to  the  superintendent  with  his  monthly  return, 
and  a  third  to  the  depot  at  the  time  the  recruits  are  sent  there.     In  cases 
of  soldiers  re-enlisted  in  a  regiment,  or  of  regimental  recruits,  the  third 
copy  of  the  enlistment  will  be  sent  at  its  date  to  regimental  head-quarters 
for  file. 

941.  When   ordnance   sergeants   re-enlist,  the  recruiting  officer  will 
immediately  send  the  second  copy  of  the  enlistment  direct  to  the  Ad- 
jutant-General, and  the  third  copy  to  the  station  of  the  ordnance  sergeant 
for  file. 

942.  Enlistments  must,  in  no  case,  be  ante-dated  so  as  to  entitle  a  sol- 
dier who  applies  after  the  period  for  "re-enlisting''  has  expired,  to  any 
additional  pay  therefor. 

943.  The  recruiting  officer  will  see  that  the  men  under  his  command 
are  neat  in  their  personal  appearance,  and  will  require  the  permanent 
party  to  wear  their  military  dress  in  a  becoming  manner,  especially  when 
permitted  to  go  abroad. 

944.  Only  such  articles  of  clothing  as  are  indispensable  for  immediate 
use  will  be  issued  to  recruits  at  the  rendezvous.     Their  equipment  will 
not  be  made  complete  till  after  they  have  passed  the  inspection  subsequent 
to  their  arrival  at  the  dep6t. 

945.  The  instruction  of  the  recruits  will  commence  at  the  rendezvous 
from  the  moment  of  enlistment.     The  general  superintendent  will  see 
that  all  recruiting  officers  give  particular  attention  to  this  subject. 

946.  Recruits  will  be  sent  from  rendezvous  to  dep6ts  every  ten  days, 
or  oftener  if  practicable,  provided  the  number  disposable  exceeds  three 
The  detachments  of  recruits  will  be  sent  from  rendezvous  to  depots  under 
charge  of  a  non-commissioned  officer. 

947.  Before  recruits  are  sent  from  recruiting  depots  to  regiments  or 
companies,  the  amounts  due  by  them  to  the  laundress  and  sutler,  having 
been  verified  and  audited,  will  be  entered  on  a  roll  made  for  the  purpose, 
and  will  be  paid  by  the  paymaster  on  his  next  visit  at  the  post,  the 
receipts  of  the  laundress  and  sutler  to  the  amounts  paid  being  the  voucher : 
Provided  the  recruits  have  a  clear  amount  of  pay  du,e  them,  over  and 
above  their  dues  to  the  government,  equal  to  the  claims  of  the  laundresi 


FOR  THE   ARMY.  133

and  sutler.  The  same  amounts  will  be  entered  on  the  muster  and  de- 
scriptive roll  of  the  recruits  as  "amount  paid  laundress,  or  sutler," 
(naming  them,*)  to  be  deducted  from  the  pay  of  the  soldiers  at  their  first 
subsequent  payment. 

948.  Every  officer  commanding  a  recruiting  party  will  procure   the 
necessary  transportation,  forage,  fuel,  straw,  and  stationery,  taking  the 
requisite  vouchers. 

949.  The  transportation  of  recruits  to  dep6ts,  and  from  one  recruiting 
station  to  another,  will  be  paid  from  the  recruiting  funds;    transportation 
of  officers  and  enlisted  men  on  the  recruiting  service  will  be  paid  in  the 
same  manner,  except  when  first  proceeding  to  join  that  service,  or  return- 
ing to  their  regiments  after  having  been  relieved. 

950.  No  expenses  of  transportation  of  officers  will  be  admitted  that  do 
not  arise  from  orders  emanating  from  the  Adjutant-General's  office,  ex- 
cept they  be  required  to  visit  branch  or  auxiliary  rendezvous  under  their 
charge,  when  they  will  be  allowed  the  stage,  steamboat,  or  railroad  fare, 
porterage  included. 

951.  Whenever  an  officer  is  relieved  or  withdrawn  from  the  recruiting 
service,  he  will  pay  over,  the  balance  of  any  unexpended  recruiting  funds 
in  his  possession  to  the  officer  appointed  to  succeed  him,  or  to  the  pay- 
master, if  no  officer  be  so  designated;  and  if  there  be  no  paymaster  or 
other  proper  officer  convenient  to  receive  such  balance,  the  amount  will 
be  deposited  to  the  credit  of  the  Treasurer  of  the  United  States,  with 
the  most  convenient  Assistant  Treasurer,  or  other  depositary  of  public 
moneys.     In  either  case  the  officer  will  forward  to  the  Adjutant-General  the 
evidence  of  the  disposition  he  may  make  of  the  funds,  and  report  the  fact 
to  the  superintendent,  or  to  his  Colonel,  if  on  regimental  recruiting  service. 

RENDEZVOUS,  QUARTERING  AND    SUBSISTING   RECRUITS. 

952.  Written  contracts  will  be  made  by  recruiting  officers  for  the  rent 
of  a  rendezvous  upon  the  most  reasonable  terms  possible.      The  rent  will 
be  paid  from  the  recruiting  funds.     The  terms  of  the  contract  will  be 
immediately  reported  to  the  Adjutant-General. 

953.  For  the  manner  of  subsisting  recruits,  see  regulations  of  the

be  fixed  by  the  wants  of  the  public  service. 

969.  To  each  office  table  is  allowed  one  inkstand,  one  wafer  stamp,  one

will  add  to  his  own  certificate  a  statement  that  the  agent  is  duly 
authorized  to  sign  the  receipt. 

5.  When  an  individual  makes  "his  mark"  instead  of  signing  his 
name  to  the  receipt,  it  must  be  witnessed  by  a  third  person. 

6.  Expenditures  must  be  confined  to  items  stated  in  the  Regulations. 
In  an  unforeseen  emergency,  requiring  a  deviation  from  this  rule, 
a  full  explanation  must  be  appended  to  the  voucher  for  the  ex- 
penditure ;  and,  if  this  be  not  satisfactory,  the  account  will  be

regiment,  "  second  (or  third)  enlistment,"  as  the  case  may  be,  to- 
gether with  the  name  of  the  regiment  and  the  letter  of  the  com- 
pany in  which  the  soldier  last  served,  and  date  of  discharge  from 
former  enlistment.     This  information  the  recruiting  officer  must 
obtain,  if  possible,  from  the  soldier's  discharge,  which  he  should 
in  all  cases  be  required  to  exhibit.     (See  22d  Art.  of  War.) 

14.  Re-enlistments  must  be  forwarded  with  recruiting  accounts,  al- 
though the  bounty  due  on  them  may  not  be  paid.    When  the  bounty

15.  The  filling  up  of,  and  endorsement  on,  the  enlistment,  will  be  in 
the  handwriting  of  the  recruiting  officer,  or  done  under  his  imme- 
diate inspection. 

10.  To  facilitate  the  final  settlement  of  accounts  of  discharged  soldiers, 
the  name  of  the  State,  as  well  as  the  town,  where  each  recruit  is  en- 
listed, will  be  recorded  on  all  muster,  pay,  and  descriptive  rolls.

138  REVISED  REGULATIONS 

Depots  for  Collecting  Bee-raits. 

967.  The   recruits  are  to  be  dressed   in  uniform  according  to  their 
respe  3tive  arms,  and  will  be  regularly  mustered  and  inspected.     They 
are  to  be  well  drilled  in  the  Infantry  Tactics,  through  the  school  of  the 
soldier  to  that  of  the  battalion,  and  in  the  exercise  of  field  and  garrison 
pieces.     Duty  is  to  be  done  according  to  the  strict  rules  of  service. 

968.  The  general  superintendent  will  cause  such  of  the  recruits  as  are 
found  to  possess  a  natural  talent  for  music,  to  be  instructed  (besides  the 
drill  of  the  soldier)  on  the  fife,  bugle,  and  drum,  and  other  military  in- 
struments ;  and  boys  of  twelve  years  of  age,  and  upward,  may,  under  his 
direction,  be  enlisted  for  this  purpose.     But  as  recruits  under  eighteen 
years  of  age  and  under  size  must  be  discharged,  if  they  are  not  capable 
of  learning  music,  care  should  be  taken  to  enlist  those  only  who  have  a 
natural  talent  for  music,  and,  if  practicable,  they  should  be  taken  on  trial 
for  some  time  before  being  enlisted. 

969.  Regiments  will  be  furnished  with  field  music  on  the  requisitions 
of  their  commanders,  made,  from  time  to  time,  direct  on  the  general  super- 
intendent; and,  when  requested  by  regimental  commanders,  the  super- 
intendents will  endeavor  to  have  suitable  men  selected  from  the  recruits, 
or  enlisted,  for  the  regimental  bands. 

970.  At  every  depot  pains  will  be  taken  to  form  from  the  permanent 
party  a  body  of  competent  cooks,  some  of  whom  will  be  sent  with  every 
large  draft  of  recruits  ordered  to  regiments. 

971.  To  give  encouragement  to  the  recruits,  and  hold  out  inducements 
to  good  conduct,  the  commanding  officer  of  the  depot  may  promote  such 
of  them  as  exhibit  the  requisite  qualifications  to  be  lance  corporals  and 
lance  sergeants,  not  exceeding  the  proper  proportion  to  the  number  of 
recruits  at  the  depot.     These  appointments  will  be  announced  in  orders 
in  the  usual  way,  and  will  be   continued  in  force  until  they  join  their 
regiments,  unless  sooner  revoked.     No  allowance  of  pay  or  emoluments 
is  to  be  assigned  to  these  appointments :  they  are  only  to  be  considered 
as  recommendations  to  the  captains  of  companies  and  colonels  of  regi- 
ments for  the  places  in  which  the  recruits  may  have  acted;  but  such 
non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  treated  with  all  the  respect  and  to 
have  all  the  authority  which  may  belong  to  the  stations  of  sergeant  and 
corporal. 

972.  Permanent  parties  at  depots,  and  recruiting  parties  and  recruits, 
will  be  mustered,  inspected,  and   paid  in  the    same  manner  as   other 
soldiers.     Recruits  will  be  mustered  for  pay  only  at  depdts,  and,  when 
paid  there,  one-half  of  their  monthly  pay  will  be  retained  until  they  join 
their  regiments. 

973.  When'recruits  are  received  at  a  garrisoned  post,  the  Commanding 
officer  will  place  th^m  under  the  charge  of  a  commissioned  officer. 


FOR   THE   ARMY. 


Inspection  of  Kecruits  at  Depots  and  Posts. Rejected  Recruits. 

974.  Recruits  are  not  to  be  put  to  any  labor  or  work  which  would  in- 
terfere with  their  instruction,  nor  are  they  to  be  employed  otherwise 
than  as  soldiers,  in  the  regular  duties  of  garrison  and  camp. 

975.  The  Rules  and  Articles  of  War  are  to  be  read  to  the  recruits 
svery  month,  after  the  inspestion;  and  so  much  thereof  as  relates  to  the 
duties  of  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  will  be  read  to  them  every 
week. 

INSPECTION   OP   RECRUITS   AT   DEPOTS   AND   POSTS. 

976.  The  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  will  cause  a  minute  and 
critical  inspection  to  be  made  of  every  recruit  received  at  a  depot,  two 
days  after  his  arrival  j  and  should  any  recruit  be  found  unfit  for  service, 
or  to  have  been  enlisted  contrary  to  law  or  regulations,  he  shall  assemble 
a  Board  of  Inspectors,  to  examine  into  the  case.     A  board  may  also  be 
assembled  in  a  special  case,  when  a  concealed  defect  may  become  manifest 
in  a  recruit,  at  any  time  during  his  detention  at  the  depot. 

977.  Every  draft  of  recruits  ordered  from  a  depdt  to  any  regiment  or 
post,  shall,  immediately  preceding  its  departure,  be  critically  inspected  by 
the  superintendent  or  commanding  officer,  and  surgeon ;  and,  when  neces- 
sary, a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  convened. 

978.  Recruits  received  at  a  military  post  or  station  shall  be  carefully 
inspected  by  the  commanding  officer  and  surgeon,  on  the  third  day  after 
their  arrival ;  and  if,  on  such  inspection,  any  recruit,  in  their  opinion,  be 
unsound  or  otherwise  defective,  in  such  degree  as  to  disqualify  him  for 
the  duties  of  a  soldier,  then  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  assembled  to 
examine  into  and  report  on  the  case.    (See  paragraphs  979,  980,  981.) 

979.  Boards  for  the  inspection  of  recruits  will  be  composed  of  the  com- 
manding officer,  the  senior  medical  officer  of  the  army  present,  and,  if 
possible,  the  three  senior  regimental  officers  present  on  duty  with  the 
troops. 

REJECTED   RECRUITS. 

980.  In  all  cases  of  rejection,  the  reasons  therefor  will  be  stated  at  large 
in  a  special  report,  to  be  made  by  the  board ;   which,  together  with  the 
surgeon's  certificate  of  disability  for  service,  will  be  forwarded  by  the 
superintendent  or  commandant  of  the  post  direct  to  the  Adjutant-General. 
In  all  such  cases  the  commanding  officer  will  cause  the  articles  of  clothing, 
which  may  have  been  issued  to  the  recruit,  with  the  price  of  each  article, 
to  be  endorsed  on  the  certificates  of  disability.     If  the  recommendation 
of  the  board  for  the  discharge  of  the  recruit  be  approved,  the  authority 
therefor  will  be  endorsed  on  the  certificate,  which  will  be  sent  back  to  be 
filled  up  and  signed  by  the  commanding  officer,  who  will  return  the  same 
to  the  Adjutant-  jreneral's  Office. 


140  REVISED  REGULATIONS 

Becruits  sent  to  Regiments. 

981.  The  board  will  state  in  the  report  whether  the  disability,  or  other 
cause  of  rejection,  existed  before  his  enlistment;  and  whether  with  proper 
care  and  examination  it  might  not  have  been  discovered. 

RECRUITS   SENT   TO   REGIMENTS.  9       . 

982.  An  officer  intrusted  with  the  command   of  recruits  ordered  to 
regiments,  will,  on  arriving  at  the  place  of  destination,  forward  the  follow- 
ing papers : 

1.  To  the  Adjutant-  General  and  the  Superintendent)  each,  a  descrip- 
tive roll  and  an  account  of  clothing  of  such  men  as  may  have 
deserted,  died,  or  been  left  on  the  route  from  any  cause  whatever, 
with  date  and  place;  also,  a  special  report  of  the  date  of  his  arrival 
at  the  post,  the  strength  and  condition  of  the  party  when  turned 
over  to  the  commanding  officer,  and  all  circumstances  worthy  of 
remark  which  may  have  occurred  on  the  march. 

2.  To  the  Commanding  Officer  of  the  regiment,  or  post,  the  muster 
and  descriptive  roll  furnished  him  at  the  time  of  setting  out, 
properly  signed  and  completed  by  recording  the  names  of  the  re- 
cruits present,  and  by  noting  in  the  column  for  remarks,  opposite 
the  appropriate  spaces,  th&  time  and  place  of  death,  desertion,  ap- 
prehension, or  other  casualty  that  may  have  occurred  on  the  route. 

983.  Should  an  officer  be  relieved  in  charge  of  a  party  of  recruits  en 
route,  before  it  reaches  its  destination,  the  date  and  place,  and  name  of 
the  officer  by  whom  he  is  relieved,  must  be  recorded  on  the  roll  of  the 
party.     Without  the  evidence  of  such  record,  no  charge  for  extra  pay  on 
account  of  clothing  accountability  of  the  party,  where  equal  to  a  company 
will  be  allowed. 

984.  The  "  original  muster  and  descriptive  roll"  of  every  draft,  with 
remarks  showing  the  final  disposition  of  each  recruit,  and  the  regiment 
and  letter  of  the  company  to  which  he  may  be  assigned,  will  be  signed 
and  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant-General  by  the  commanding  officer  who 
makes  the  assignment.     If  the  recruits  embraced  in  one  roll  happen  to 
be  assigned  to  different  posts,  the  original  roll  is  to  continue  with  the 
last  party  to  its  destination,  each  commander  completing  it  so  far  as  con- 
cerns the  recruits  left  at  his  post.     When  this  is  not  practicable,  extracts 
from  the  original  roll  are  to  be  made  by  the  authority  which  distributes 
the  recruits,  to  accompany  the  several  parties,  and  to  be  forwarded  to  the 
Adjutant-General  as  in  case  of  the  original  roll. 

REGIMENTAL   RECRUITING   SERVICE. 

&85.  The  regimental  recruiting  will  be  conducted  in  the  manner  pre- 
scribed for  the  general  service. 


FOR    THE    ARMY.

986.  Every  commander  of  a  regiment  is  the  superintendent  of  the 
recruiting  service  for  his  regiment,  and  will  endeavor  to  keep  it  up  to  its 
establishment;   for  which  purpose  he  will   obtain  the  necessary  funds, 
clothing,  &c.,  by  requisition  on  the  Adjutant-General. 

987.  At  evjery  station  occupied  by  his  regiment,  or  any  part  of  it,  the 
colonel  will  designate  a  suitable  officer  to  attend  to  the  recruiting  duties ; 
which  selection  will  not  relieve  such  officer  from  his  company  or  other 
ordinary  duties.     The  officer  thus  designated  will  be  kept  constantly  fur- 
nished with  funds,  and,  when  necessary,  with  clothing  and  camp  equip- 
age. 

988.  The  regimental  recruiting  officer  will,  with  the  approbation  of  the 
commanding  officer  of  the  station,  enlist  all  suitable  men.     He  will  be 
governed,  in  rendering  his  accounts  and  returns,  by  the  rules  prescribed 
for  the  general  service ;  and,  when  leaving  a  post,  will  turn  over  the  funds 
in  his  hands  to  the  senior  company  officer  of  his  regiment  present,  unless 
some  other  be  appointed  to  receive  them.

ARTICLE  XL1 

PUBLIC  PBOPEBTY,  MONEY,  AND  ACCOUNTS. 

989.  All  officers  of  the  Pay,  Commissary,  and  Quartermaster's  Depart- 
ments, and  military  store-keepers,  shall,  previous  to  their  entering  on  the 
duties  of  their  respective  offices,  give  good  and  sufficient  bonds  to  the 
United  States  fully  to  account  for  all  moneys  and  public  property  which 
they  may  receive,  in  such  sums  as  the  Secretary  of  War  shall  direct;  and 
the  officers  aforesaid  shall  renew  their  bonds  every  four  years,  and  oftener 
if  the  Secretary  of  War  shall  so  require,  and  whenever  they  receive  a 
n<sw  commission  or  appointment. 

990.  The  sureties  to  the  bond  shall  be  bound  jointly  and  severally  for 
the  whole  amount  of  the  bond,  and  shall  satisfy  the  Secretary  of  War 
that   they  are  worth  jointly  double   the   amount  of  the   bond,  by  the 
affidavit  of  each  surety,  stating  that  he  is  worth,  over  and  above  his  debts 
and   liabilities,  the  amount  of  the  bond  or  such  other  sum  as  he  may 
specify ;  and  each  surety  shall  state  his  place  of  residence. 

991.  The  chiefs  of  disbursing  departments  who  submit  requisitions  for 
money  to  be  remitted  to  disbursing  officers,  shall  take  care  that  no  more 
money  than  actually  needed  is  in  the  hands  of  any  officer. 

992.  The   Treasury   Department   having    provided,   by   arrangement 
with  the  assistant   treasurers  at  various)   points,  secure  depositories  for 
funds   in   the   hands    of  disbursing   officers,  all   disbursing  officers  are 
required  to  avail  themselves,  as  far  as  possible,  of  this  arrangement,  by 
depositing  with  the  assistant  treasurers  such  funds  as  are  not  wanted  for 
immediate  use,  and  drawing  the  same  in  convenient  sums  as  wanted.

When  the  funds  furnished  are  gold  and  silver,  all  payments  shall  be  in 
gold  and   silver.     When   the  funds  furnished  are  drafts,  they  shall  be 
presented  at  the  place  of  payment,  and  paid  according  to  law;  and  pay 
nients  shall  be  made  in  the  funds  so  received  for  the  drafts,  unless  said 
funds  or  said  drafts  can  be  exchanged  for  gold  and  silver  at  par.     If  any 
disbursing  officer  shall  violate  any  of  these  provisions,  he  shall  be  sus- 
pended" by  the  Secretary  of  War,  and  reported  to  the  President,  and 
promptly  removed  from  office  or  restored  to  his  trust  and  duties  as  to  the

994.  No  disbursing  officer  shall  accept,  or  receive,  or  transmit  to  the 
Treasury  to  be  allowed   in   his    favor,  any  receipt   or   voucher  from  a 
creditor  of  the  United  States  without  having  paid  to  such  creditor,  in

authorized  by  the  preceding  article  to  take  in  exchange,  the  full  amount 
specified  in  such  receipt  or  voucher;  and  every  such  act  shall  be  deemed 
to  be  a  conversion  to  his  own  use  of  the  amount  specified  in  such  receipt 
or  voucher.  And  no  officer  in  the  military  service  charged  with  the 
gafe-keeping,  transfer,  or  disbursement  of  public  money,  shall  convert  to 
his  own  use,  or  invest  in  any  kind  of  merchandise  or  property,  or  loan 
with  or  without  interest,  or  deposit  in  any  bank,  or  exchange  for  other 
funds,  except  as  allowed  in  the  preceding  article,  any  public  money 
intrusted  to  him ;  and  every  sueh  act  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  felony  and 
an  embezzlement  of  so  much  money  as  may  be  so  taken,  converted, 
invested,  used,  loaned,  deposited,  or  exchanged.  (Act  August  6,  1846  ) 

995.  Any  officer  who  shall  directly  or  indirectly  sell  or  dispose  of,  for 
a  premium,  any  Treasury  note,  draft,  warrant,  or  other  public  security  in 
his  hands  for  disbursement,  or  sell  or  dispose  of  the  proceeds  or  avails 
thereof  without  making  returns  of  such  premium  and  accounting  therefor 
by  charging  it  in  his  accounts  to  the  credit  of  the  United  States,  will 
forthwith  be  dismissed  by  the  President.     (Act  August  6,  1846.) 

996.  If  any  disbursing  officer  shall  bet  at  cards  or  any  game  of  hazard, 
his  commanding  officer  shall  suspend  his  functions,  and  require  him  to 
turn  over  all  the  public  funds  in  his  keeping,   and   shall   immediately 
report  the  case  to  the  proper  bureau  of  the  War  Department. 

997.  All  officers  are  forbid  to  give  or  take  any  receipt  in  blank  for 
public  money  or  property ;  but  in  all  cases  the  voucher  shall  be  made 
out  in  full,  and  the  true  date,  place,  and  exact  amount  of  money,  in 
words,  shall  be  written  out  in  the  receipt  before  it  is  signed. 

998.  When  a  signature  is  not  written  by  the  hand  of  the  party,  it 
must  be  witnessed. 

999.  No  advance  of  public  money  shall  be  made,  except  advances  to 
disbursing  officers,  and  advances  by  order  of  the  War  Department  to 
officers   on   distant   stations,  where   they  cannot  receive  their  pay  and 
emoluments  regularly;  but  in  all  cases  of  contracts  for  the  performance 
of  any  service,  or  the  delivery  of  articles  of  any  description,  payment 
shall  not  exceed  the  value  of  the   service  rendered,  or  of  the  articles 
delivered,  previously  to  such  payment.

the  military  service   shall   be   concerned,  directly  or  indirectly,  in  the 
purchase  or  sale,  for  commercial  purposes,  of  any  article  intended  for,

directly  or  indirectly,  in  any  wagon  or  other  means  of  transport  employed 
by  the  United   States,  nor  in  the  purchase  or  sale  of  any  property  pro- 
cured for  or  belonging  to  the  United  States,  except  as  the  agent  of  the 
United  States. 

1002.  No  officer  or  agent  in  the  military  service  shall  purchase  from 
any  other  person  in  the  military  service,  or  make  any  contract  with  any 
such  person  to  furnish  supplies  or  services,  or  make  any  purchase  or  con- 
tract in  which  such  person  shall  be  admitted  to  any  share  or  part,  or  to 
any  benefit  to  arise  therefrom. 

1003.  No  person  in  the  military  service  whose  salary,  pay,  or  emolu- 
ments is  or  are  fixed  by  law  or  regulations,  shall  receive  any  additional 
pay,  extra  allowance,  or  compensation  in  any  form  whatever,  for  the  dis- 
bursement of  public  money,  or  any  other  service  or  duty  whatsoever, 
unless  the  same  shall  be  authorized  by  law,  and  explicitly  set  out  in  the 
appropriation. 

1004.  All  accounts  of  expenditures  shall  set  out  a  sufficient  explanation 
of  the  object,  necessity,  and  propriety  of  the  expenditure. 

1005.  The  facts  on  which  an   account  depends  must  be  stated  and 
vouched  by  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  or  other  sufficient  evidence. 

1006.  If  any  account  paid  on  the  certificate  of  an  officer  to  the  facts  is 
afterward  disallowed  for  error  of  fact  in  the  certificate,  it  shall  pass  to  the 
credit  of  the  disbursing  officer,  and  be  charged  to  the  officer  who  gave 
the  certificate. 

1007.  An  officer  shall  have  credit  for  an  expenditure  of  money  or 
property  made  in  obedience  to  the  order  of  his  commanding  officer.     If 
the   expenditure  is  disallowed,  it  shall  be  charged  to  the  officer  who 
ordered  it. 

1008.  Disbursing  officers,  when  they  have  the  money,  shall  pay  cash, 
and  not  open  an  account.     Heads  of  bureaus  shall  take  care,  by  timely 
remittances,  to  obviate  the  necessity  of  any  purchases  on  credit. 

1009.  When  a  disbursing  officer  is  relieved,  he  shall  certify  the  out- 
standing debts  to  his  successor,  and  transmit  an  account  of  the  same  to 
the  head  of  the  bureau,  and  turn  over  his  public  money  and  property 
appertaining  to  the  service  from  which  he  is  relieved  to  his  successor, 
unless  otherwise  ordered. 

1010.  The  chief  of  each  military  bureau  of  the  War  Department  shall, 
under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  War,  regulate,  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, the  employment  of  hired  persons  required  for  the  administrative 
service  of  his  department.

paid  at  the  end  of  the  calendar  month,  and  when  discharged.     Separate 
pay-rolls  shall  be  made  for  each  month. 

1012.  When  a  hired  person  is  discharged  and  not  paid,  a  certified 
Statement  of  -his  account  shall  be  given  him. 

1013.  Property,  paid  for  or  not,  must  be  taken  up  on  the  return,  and 
accounted  for  when  received. 

1014.  No  officer  has  authority  to  insure  public  property  or  money. 

1015.  Disbursing  officers  are  not  authorized  to  settle  with  heirs,  exe- 
cutors, or  administrators,  except  by  instructions  from  the  proper  bureau 
of  the  War  Department  upon  accounts  duly  audited  and  certified  by  the 
proper  accounting  officers  of  the  Treasury. 

•  1016.  Public  horses,  mules,  oxen,  tools,  and  implements  shall  be 
branded  conspicuously  TJ.  S.  before  being  used  in  service,  and  all  other 
public  property  that  it  may  be  useful  to  mark;  and  all  public  property 
having  the  brand  of  the  U.  S.  when  sold  or  condemned,  shall  be  branded 
with  the  letter  C. 

1017.  No  public  property  shall  be  used,  nor  labor  hired  for  the  public 
be  employed,  for  any  private  use  whatsoever  not  authorized  by  the  regu- 
lations of  the  service. 

1018.  When  public  property  becomes  damaged,  except  by  fair  wear 
and  tear,  or  otherwise  unsuitable  for  use,  or  a  deficiency  is  found  in  it, 
the  officer  accountable  for  the  same  shall  report  the  case  to  the  command- 
ing officer,  who  shall,  if  necessary,  appoint  a  Board  of  Survey. 

1019.  Boards  of  Survey  shall  have  no  power  to  condemn  public  pro- 
perty.    They  are  called  only  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  data  by  which 
questions  of  administrative  responsibility  may  be  determined,  and  the 
adjustment  of  accounts  facilitated;  as,  for  example,  to  assess  the  amount 
and   kind    of  damage   or   deficiency  which   public   property  may  have 
sustained   from   any  extraordinary  cause,  not   ordinary  wear,   either  in 
transit  or  in  store,  or  in  actual  use,  whether  from  accident,  unusual  wast/- 
age, or  otherwise,  and  to  set  forth  the  circumstances  and  fix  the  responsi- 
bility of  such  damage,  whether  on  the  carrier,  or  the  person  accountable 
for  the  property  or  having  it  immediately  in  charge;  to  make  inventories 
of  property  ordered  to  be  abandoned,  when  the  articles  have  not  been 
enumerated  in  the  orders;  to  assess  the  prices  at  which  damaged  clothing 
may  be  issued  to  troops,  and  the  proportion  in  which  supplies  shall  be 
issued  in  consequence  of  damage  that  renders  them  at  the  usual  rate 
unequal  to  the  allowance  which  the  Regulations  contemplate;  to  verify 
the  discrepancy  between  the  invoices  and  the  actual  quantity  or  descrip- 
tion of  property  transferred  from  one  officer  to  another,  and  ascertain,  as  fai 
as  possible,  where  and  how  the  discrepancy  has  occurred,  whether  in  tha 
tands  of  the   carrier  or  the  officer  making  the  transfer;    and  to  make

^ ,  entories  and  report  on  the  condition  of  public  property  in  the  possession 
of  officers  at  the  time  "of  their  death.  The  action  of  the  board  for 
these  authorized  objects  will  be  complete  with  the  approval  of  the  command- 
ing officer,  provided  that  neither  he  nor  any  of  the  board  are  interested 
parties;  but  will  be  subject  to  revision  by  higher  authority.  In  no  case, 
however,  will  the  report  of  the  board  supersede  the  depositions  which 
the  law  requires  with  reference  to  deficiencies  and  damage. 

1020.  Boards  of  Survey  will  not  be  convened  by  any  other  than  the 
tommanding  officer  present,  and  will  be  composed  of  as  many  officers, 
not  exceeding  three,  as  may  be  present  for  duty,  exclusive  always  of  the 
commanding  officer  and  the  officer  responsible  in  the  matter  to  be  reported 
on;  but  in  case  the  two  latter  only  are  present,  then  the  one  not  responsible 
will  perform  the  duties,  and  the  responsible  officer  will  perform  them  only 
if  there  be  no  other  recourse.     The  proceedings  of  the  board  will  be 
signed  by  each  member,  and  a  copy  forwarded  by  the  approving  officer  to 
the  head-quarters  of  the  department  or  army  in  the  field,  as  the  case  may 
be,  duplicates  being  furnished  to  the  officer  accountable  for  the  property. 

1021.  All  surveys  and  reports  having  in  view  the  condemnation   of 
public  property,  for  whatever  cause,  will  be  made  by  the  commanding 
officers  of  posts  or  other  separate  commands,  or  by  Inspectors-General,  or 
inspectors  specially  designated  by  the  commander  of  a  department  or  an 
army  in  the  field,  or  by  higher  authority      Such  surveys  and  reports 
having  a  different  object  from  those  of  Boards  of  Survey,  will  be  required 
independently  of  any  preliminary  action  of  a  board  on  the  same  matter. 

1022.  When  public  property  is  received  by  any  officer,  he  will  make  a 
careful  examination  to  ascertain  its  quality  and  condition,  but  without 
breaking  packages  until  issues  are  to  be  made,  unless  there  should  be 
cause  to  suppose  the  contents  defective ;  and  in  any  of  the  cases  supposed 
in  the  preceding  paragraph,  he  will  apply  for  a  Board  of  Survey  for  the 
purposes  therein  set  forth.     If  he  deem  the  property  unfit  for  use  and 
that  the  public  interest  requires  it  to  be  condemned,  he  will,  in  addition, 
report  that  fact  to  the  commanding  officer,  who  will  make,  or  cause  to  be 
made,  a  critical  inspection  of  it — according  as  he  may  be  commander  of 
a  post  only,  or  have  a  higher  command.     If  the  inspector  deem  the  pro- 
perty fit,  it  shall  be  received  and  used.     If  not,  he  will  forward  a  formal 
inspection  report  to  the  commander  empowered  to  give  orders  in  the  case. 
The  same  rule  will  be  observed,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  case,  with 
reference  to  property  already  on  hand.     The  person  accountable  for  the 
property,  or  having  it  in  charge,  will  submit  an  inventory,  which  will 
accompany  or  be  embodied  in  the  inspection  report,  stating  how  long  the 
property  has  been  in  his  possession,  how  long  in  use,  and  from  whom  it  was 
received.     The  inspector's  report  will  state  the  exact  condition  of  each

article,  and  what  disposition  it  is  expedient  to  make  of  it:  as,  to  be  de- 
stroyed, to  be  dropped  as  being  of  no  value,  tc  be  broken  up,  to  be 
repacked  or  repaired,  or  to  be  sold.  The  inspector  will  certify  on  his 
report  that  he  has  examined  each  article,  and  that  its  condition  is  as 
stated.  If  the  commanding  officer,  who  ordinarily  would  be  the  inspector, 
is  himself  accountable  for  the  property,  the  next  officer  in  rank  present 
for  duty  will  act  as  the  inspector.  The  authority  to  inspect  and  condemn 
will  not,  without  special  instructions,  be  exercised  by  commanding  officers 
of  arsenals  with  reference  to  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  but  only  in 
regard  to  other  unserviceable  supplies. 

1023.  An  officer  commanding  a  department,  or  an  army  in  the  field, 
may  give  orders,  on  the  report  of  the  authorized  inspectors,  to  sell,  destroy, 
or  make  such  other  disposition  of  any  condemned  property  as  the  case 
may  require — ordnance  and  ordnance  stores  alone  excepted,  for  which 
the  orders  of  the  War  Department  must  always  be  taken.     But  if  the 
property  be  of  very  considerable  value,  and  there  should  be  reason  to 
suppose  that  it  could  be  advantageously  applied  or  disposed  of  elsewhere 
than  within  his  command,  he  will  refer  the  matter  to  the  Chief  of  the 
Staff  Department  to  which  it  belongs,  for  the  orders  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment.    No  other  persons  than  those  above  designated,  or  the  General-in- 
chief,  will  order  the  final  disposition  of  condemned  property;  saving  only 
in  the  case  of  horses  which  should  be  killed  at  once  to  prevent  contagion, 
and  of  provisions  or  other  stores  which  are  rapidly  deteriorating,  when 
the  immediate   commander  may  have  to  act  perforce.     Inventories  of 
condemned  property  will  be  made  in  triplicate,  one  to  be  retained  by  the 
person  accountable,  one  to  accompany  his  accounts,  and  one  to  be  for- 
warded through  the  department  or  other  superior  head-quarters  to  the 
Chief  of  the  Staff  Department  to  which  the  property  belongs.     Separate 
inventories  must  be  made  of  the  articles  to  be  repaired,  of  those  to  be 
broken  up,  those  to  be  sold,  to  be  dropped,  &c. 

1024.  Every  inspector,  member  of  a  Board  of  Survey,  and  commander 
acting  on  their  proceedings,  shall  be  answerable  that  his  action  has  been 
proper  and  judicious,  according  to  the  Regulations  and  the  circumstances 
yf  the  case. 

1025.  As  far  as  practicable,  every  officer  in  charge  of  public  property, 
whether  it  be  in  use  or  in  store,  will  endeavor  by  timely  repairs  to  keep 
It  in  serviceable   condition,  for  which  purpose  the  necessary  means  will 
be  allowed  on  satisfactory  requisitions;  and  property  in  store  so  repaired 
will  be  issued  for  further  use.     Unserviceable  arms  will  be  sent  to  an 
arsenal  for  repair.    Provisions  and  other  perishable  stores  will  be  repacked 
whenever  it  may  be  necessary  for  their  preservation  and  their  value  will 
justify  ti><?  expense,  which  will  be  a  legitimate  charge  against  the  depart-

ment  to  which  they  belong.  Public  animals  will  not  be  condemned  fof 
temporary  disease  or  want  of  condition,  but  may,  by  order  of  the  com.' 
manding  officer  after  inspection,  be  turned  in  for  rest  and  treatment,  if 
unfit  for  the  service  for  which  they  are  immediately  required. 

1026.  Public  property  shall  not  be  transferred  gratuitously  from  one 
staff  department  to  another;  nor  shall  the  funds  of  one  be  used  to  liquid- 
ate the  debts  of  another. 

1027.  If  any  article  of  public  property  be  lost  or  damaged  by  neglect 
or  fault  of  any  officer  or  soldier,  he  shall  pay  the  value  of  such  article,  or 
amount  of  damage,  or  cost  of  repairs,  at  such  rates  as  a  Board  of  Survey, 
with  the  approval  of  the  commanding  officer,  may  assess,  according  to 
the  place  and  circumstances  of  the  loss  or  damage.     And  he  shall,  more- 
over, be  proceeded  against  as  the  Articles  of  War  provide,  if  he  dema&d 
a  trial  by  court-martial,  or  the  circumstances  should  require  it. 

1028.  Charges  against  a  soldier  shall  be  set  against  his  pay  on  the 
muster-roll — but  only  on  clear  proof,  and  never  without  an  inquiry,  if  he 
demand  it.     Charges  against  an  officer  to  be  set  against  his  pay  shall  be 
promptly  reported  to  the  Secretary  of  War.* 

1029.  If  any  article  of  public  property  be  embezzled,  or  by  neglect 
lost  or  damaged,  by  any  person  hired  in  the  public  service,  the  value  or 
damage,  as  ascertained,  if  necessary,  by  a  Board  of  Survey,  shall  be 
charged  to  him,  and  set  against  any  pay  or  money  due  him. 

1030.  Public  property  lost  or  destroyed  in  the  military  service  must 
be  accounted  for  by  affidavit,  or  the  certificate  of  a  commissioned  officer, 
or  other  satisfactory  evidence. 

1031.  Affidavits  or  depositions  may  be  taken  before  any  officer  in  the 
list,  as  follows,  when  recourse  cannot  be  had  to  any  before  named  on  said 
list,  which  fact  shall  be  certified  by  the  officer  offering  the  evidence :  1st. 
a  civil  magistrate  competent  to  administer  oaths;  2d.  a  judge  advocate; 
3d.  the  recorder  of  a  garrison  or  regimental  court-martial;  4th.  the  adju- 
tant of  a  regiment;  5th.  a  commissioned  officer. 

1032.  Military  stores  and  other  army  supplies  regularly  condemned, 
and  ordered  for  sale,  shall  be  sold  for  cash  at  auction,  on  due   public 
notice,  and  in  such  market  as  the  public   interest   may  require.     The 
officer  making  the  sale  will  bid  in  and  suspend  the  sale  when,  in  his 
opinion,  better  prices  may  be  got.     Expenses  of  the  sale  will  be  paid  from 
its  proceeds.     The  auctioneer's  certified  account  of  the  sales  in  detail, 
and  the  vouchers  for  the  expenses  of  the  sale,  will  be  reported  to  the

ceeds will  be  applied  as  the  Secretary  of  War  may  direct. 

1033.  No  officer  making  returns  of  property  shall  drop  from  his  return 
any  public  property  as  worn  out  or  unserviceable  until  it  has  been  con- 
demned, after  proper  inspection,  and  ordered  to  be  so  dropped. 

1034.  An  officer  issuing  stores  shall  deliver  or  transmit  to  the  receiving 
officer  an  exact  list  of  them  in  duplicate  invoices,  and  the  -receiving  officer 
shall  return  him  duplicate  receipts. 

1035.  When  an  officer  to  whom  stores  are  forwarded  has  reason  to 
suppose  them  miscarried,  he  shall  promptly  inform  the  issuing  and  for- 
warding officer,  and  the  bureau  of  the  department  to  which  the  property 
appertains. 

1036.  When  stores  received  do  not  correspond  in  amount  or  quality 
with  the  invoice,  they  will  be  examined  by  a  Board  of  Survey,  and  a  copy 
of  the  report  of  the  board  be  communicated  to  the  proper  bureau,  to  the 
issuing  and  forwarding  officer,  and  to  the  officer  authorized  to  pay  the

transportation.     Mileage  is  computed  by  the  shortest  mail  route,  and  the 
distance  by  the  General  Post-Office  book.     When  the  distance  cannot  be 
so  ascertained,  it  shall  be  reckoned  subject  to  the  decision  of  the  Quar- 
termaster-General.

public  will  not  be  put  to  the  expense  of  their  transportation.     They  must 
bear  it  themselves.

upon  his  affidavit  to  the  account  of  expenses,  and  the  certificate  of  the 
paymaster  that  the  journey  was  on  duty. 

1119.  Travel  of  officers  on  business  of  civil  works  will  be  charged  to 
the  appropriation  for  the  work.

to  the  settlement' of  his  accounts,  except  by  order  of  the  Secretary  of 
War  on  the  report  of  the  bureau,  or  of  the  Treasury,  showing  a  necessity 
therefor. 

FORAGE. 

1121.  The  forage  ration  is  fourteen  pounds  of  hay  and  twelve  pounds 
of  oats,  corn,  or  barley.     For  mules,  fourteen  pounds  of  hay  and  nine 
pounds  of  oats,  corn,  or  barley. 

1122.  The  allowance  of  forage  to  mounted  officers  will  apply  for  mules 
equally  as  for  horses,  when  the  exigencies  of  the  service  make  it  neces- 
sary to  use  the  former  instead  of  the  latter.     This  will  not  authorize 
officers  to  make  the  substitution  on  drills  and  parades,  or,  under  ordinary 
circumstances,  on  any  duty  under  arms. 

1123.  Forage  shall  be  issued  to  officers  only  in  the  month  when  due, 
and  at  their  proper  stations,  and  for  the  horses  actually  kept  by  them  in 
service,  not  exceeding  in  number  as  follows :  In  time  of  war,  Major- 
General,  seven  horses;  Brigadier-General,  five;  Colonels  who  have  the 
cavalry  allowance,  five;   other  Colonels,  four;   Lieutenant-Colonels  and 
Majors  who  have  the  cavalry  allowance,  four;  other  Lieutenant-Colonels 
and  Majors,  three;  Captains  who  have  the  cavalry  allowance,  three;  all 
other  officers  entitled  to  forage,  two ;  and  in  time  of  peace,  general  and

regiments  of  dragoons,  cavalry,  and  mounted  riflemen,  two  horses;  all 
other  officers  entitled  to  forage,  one  horse. 

1124.  No  officer  shall  sell  forage  issued  to  him.     Forage  issued  to 
public  horses  or  cattle  is  public  property ;  what  they  do  not  actually  con- 
sume is  to  be  properly  accounted  for. 

1125.  Whenever  the  state  of  the  supplies  or  circumstances  of  the  ser- 
vice make  it  necessary  to  issue  a  part,  only,  of  the  ration,  in  kind,  com- 
manding officers  will  prescribe  what  part  shall  be  so  issued. 

STRAW. 

1126.  In  barracks,  twelve  pounds  of  straw  per  month  for  bedding  will

of  bootees. 

1151.  One  sash  is  allowed  to  each  company  for  the  first  sergeant,  and 
one  knapsack  with  straps,  haversack,  and  canteen  with  straps,  to  each 
enlisted  man.      These  and  the  metallic  scales,  letters,  numbers,  castles, 
shells,  and  flames,  and  the  camp  and  garrison  equipage,  will  not  be  re- 
turned as  issued,  but  borne  on  the  return  while  fit  for  service.     They  will 
be  charged  to  the  person  in  whose  use  they  are,  when  lost  or  destroyed  by 
his  fault. 

1152.  Commanders  of  companies  draw  the  clothing  of  their  men,  and 
the  camp  and  garrison  equipage  for  the  oflicers  and  men  of  their  com- 
pany.     The  camp  and  garrison  equipage  of  other  officers  is  drawn  on 
their  own  receipts. 

1153.  When  clothing  is  needed   for   issue  to  the  men,  the  company 
commander  will  procure  it  from  the  quartermaster  on  requisition,  approved 
by  the  commanding  officer. 

1154.  Ordinarily  the  company  commander  will  procure  and  issue  clothing 
to  his  men  twice  a  year ;  at  other  times,  when  necessary  in  special  cases. 

1155.  Such  articles  of  clothing  as  the  soldier  may  need  will  be  issued 
to  him.     When  the  issues  equal  in  value  his  allowance  for  the  year,  further 
issues  are  extra  issues,  to  be  charged  to  him  on  the  next  muster-roll. 

1156.  The  talmas  furnished  the  mounted  troops  will  be  accounted  for 
as  company  property,  and  the  men  to  whom  they  are  issued  will  be  held 
responsible  for  their  preservation. 

1157.  The  money  value  of  the  clothing,  and  of  each  article  of  it,  will 


FOR    THE   ARMY.  171 


Quartermaster's  Department. Allowance  of  Clothing. 

be  ascertained  annually,  and  announced  in  orders  from  the  War  Depart- 
ment. 

1158.  Officers  receiving  clothing,  or  camp  and  garrison  equipage,  will 
render  quarterly  returns  of  it  to  the  Qumermaster-Generah 

1159.  Commanders  of  companies  will  take  the  receipts  of  their  men 
for  the  clothing  issued  to  them,  on  a  receipt-roll,  witnessed  by  an  officer, 
or,  in  the  absence  of  an  officer,  by  a  non-commissioned  officer ;  the  witness 
to  be  witness  to  the  fact  of  the  issue  and  the  acknowledgment  and  signa- 
ture of  the  soldier.     The  several  issues  to  a  soldier  to  be  entered  sepa- 
rately on  the  roll,  and  all  vacant  spaces  on  the  roll  to  be  filled  with  a 
cipher.     This  roll  is  the  voucher  for  the  issue  to  the  quarterly  return  of 
the  company  commander.     Extra  issues  will  be  so  noted  on  the  roll. 

1160.  Each  soldier's  clothing  account  is  kept  by  the  company  com- 
mander in  a  company  book.     This  account  sets  out  only  the  money  value 
of  the  clothing  which  he  received  at  each  issue,  for  which  his  receipt  is 
entered  in  the  book,  and  witnessed  as  in  the  preceding  paragraph. 

1161.  When  a  soldier  is  transferred  or  detached,  the  amount  due  to  or 
by  him  on  account  of  clothing  will  be  stated  on  his  descriptive  list. 

1162.  When  a  soldier  is  discharged,  the  amount  due  to  or  by  him  for 
clothing  will  be  stated  on  the  duplicate  certificates  given  for  the  settle- 
ment of  his  accounts. 

1163.  Deserters'  clothing  will  be  turned  into  store.     The  invoice  of  it, 
and  the  quartermaster's  receipt  for  it,  will  state  its  condition,  and  the 
name  of  the  deserter. 

1164.  The  inspection  report  on  damaged  clothing  shall  set  out,  with 
the  amount  of  damage  to  each  article,  a  list  of  such  articles  as  are  fit  for 
issue,  at  a  reduced  price  staled. 

1165.  Commanding  officers  may  order  necessary  issues  of  clothing  to 
prisoners  and  convicts,  taking  deserters'  or  other  damaged  clothing  when 
there  is  such  in  store. 

1166.  Officers  of   the  army  may  purchase,  at   the   regulation   price, 
from  the  quartermaster  of  their  post,  such  articles  of  uniform  clothing 
as  they  actually  need — certifying  that  the  articles  so  drawn  are  intended 
solely  for  their  own  personal  use. 

1167.  But — with  the  exception  of  under-clothing  and  shoes,  of  which, 
when  there  are  no  other  means  of  procuring  them,  a  reasonable  quantity 
may,  on  the  officers'  certificate  to  that  effect,  be  purchased  for  them  from 
the   quartermaster — no  officer's  private   servant,  not  a  soldier,  shall  be 
permitted  to  draw  or  tp  wear  the  uniform  clothing  issued  to  $he  troops. 

1168.  In  all  cases  of  deficiency,  or  damage  of  any  article  of  clothing, 
or  camp  or  garrison  equipage,  the  officer  accountable  for  the  property  is 
required  by  law  "  to  show  by  one  or  more  depositions  setting  forth  the

circumstances  of  the  case  that  the  deficiency  was  by  unavoidable  acci- 
dent or  loss  in  actual  service,  without  any  fault  on  his  part,  and,  in  case 
of  damage,  that  due  care  and  attention  were  exerted  on  his  part,  and 
that  the  damage  did  not  result  from  neglect."  f

returns.     It  will  be  for  the  current  month,  or  such  subsequent  month  as 
may  give  time  to  receive  the  remittance.     Other  special  estimates  will  be 
transmitted  when  necessary. 

1171.  Quarterly  returns,  to  be  transmitted  within  twenty  days  after 
the  quarter  to  which  they  relate,  viz. :  An  account  current  of  money

ment, in  the  Treasury.

Subsistence  Department. Contracts. 


ARTICLE  XLIH. 

SUBSISTENCE  DEPARTMENT. 

1176.  The  Commissary-General  of  Subsistence  will  designate,  as  far 
as  practicable,  the  places  where  contracts  and  purchases  for  subsistence 
supplies  shall  be  made,  and,  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  War, 
assign  to  stations  and  duties  the  officers  and  agents  of  his  Department. 

SUBSISTENCE    SUPPLIES. 

1177.  These   supplies  comprise :    1st,  articles  composing  the  ration, 
such  as  pork,  flour,  coffee,  candles,  &c.,  called  SUBSISTENCE  STORES; 
2d,  the  necessary  means  of  issuing  and  preserving  these  stores,  such  as 
stationery,  scales,  measures,  tools,  &c.,  called  COMMISSARY  PROPERTY. 
Subsistence  supplies  shall  not  be  transferred  gratuitously  to  another  staff- 
department,  nor  obtained,  issued,  sold,  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  except  as 
herein  prescribed. 

CONTRACTS.* 

1178.  Subsistence  stores  for  the  army,  when  time  and  circumstances 
permit,  shall  be  procured  under  written  contracts  with  suitable  bonds, 
made  by  the  Commissary-General  or  other  authorized  officer  of  the  Sub- 
sistence Department.     The  Commissary  at  the  place  of  delivery,  jf  not 
provided  with  funds  for  payment,  shall  receipt  for  the  articles  accepted, 
on  duplicate  inspection  certificates  (Form  18),  one  of  which  he  shall  give 
to  the  contractor,  and  the  other  forward  to  the  Commissary-General  or 
officer  authorized  to  pay  for  the  stores,  with  a  report  on  the  quality  of 
the  articles  and  the  condition  of  the  packages.     The  inspector  shall  be 
one  holding  his  appointment  by  law,  if  at  the  place  of  delivery  there  be 
such  an  officer,  for  the  articles  to  be  inspected. 

1179.  Contracts  for  subsistence  stores  shall  be  made  after  due  public 
notice,  and  on  the  lowest  proposal  received  from  a  responsible  person 
who  produces  the  required  article.      These  agreements  shall  expressly 
provide  for  their  termination  at  such  time  as  the  Commissary-General  may 
direct,  and  for  the  exclusion  of  any  interest  in  them  on  the  part  of  mem- 
bers of  Congress,  officers  or  agents  of*  the  Government,  and  all  persons 
employed  in  the  public  service.     (Forms  36  and  37.) 

1180.  A  contract  shall  be  executed  in  quintuplicate :  one  copy  to  be 
kept  by  the  contractor,  and  one  by  the  contracting  officer  or  agent ;  two 
copies  to  be  sent  to  the  Commissary-General  (with  the  bond),  and  the 
remaining  one  to  the  Returns-Office,  at  Washington,  D.C.     (See  Act, 

*See  Act,  approved  July  17,  1862. 


242                               REVISED   REGULATIONS 
Subsistence  Department. Purchases. 

approved  June  2,  1862.)  The  copies  of  the  contract  for  the  Commissary- 
General  and  the  Returns-Office  will  be  sent  by  the  officer  making  and 
signing  them,  as  soon  as  possible  after  completion,  accompanied  by  the 
advertisement  and  one  copy  of  every  bid  received. 

1181.  Under  the  provisions  of  the  excise  law,  each  copy  of  every  con- 
tract for  subsistence  supplies  is  liable  to  a  stamp  duty  of  five  cents  for 
every  sheet  or  piece  of  paper  upon  which  it  is  written,  and  each  copy  of  the 
bond  to  these  contracts  is  likewise  liable  to  a  stamp  duty  of  twenty-five 
cents.*     The  adhesive  stamp  for  each  copy  of  a  contract,  and  for  each 
copy  of  the  accompanying  bond,  must  be  furnished,  affixed,  and  cancelled 
by  the  contractor.     The  stamp  is  cancelled  by  the  contractor  writing  on 
its  face  his  initials  and  the  date. 

1182.  When  bids  to  furnish  subsistence  are  solicited,  the  advertise- 
ment or  notice  shall  call  for  sealed  proposals,  in  duplicate.     If  the  bids 
received  be  deemed  unreasonable,  or  if  there  be  other  sufficient  cause  for 
not  accepting  them,  they  will  be  rejected,  and  others  again  invited.    The 
time  and  place  of  opening  proposals  shall  be  stated  in  the  advertisement, 
and  bidders  allowed  to  be  present  at  the  opening. 

PURCHASES. 

1183.  Subsistence  stores  for  such  corps  or  posts  as,  by  reason  of  their 
position,  the  climate,  or  other  cause,  the  Secretary  of  War  may  authorize 
to  be  so  supplied,  will  be  procured  in  open  market,  on  due  public  notice, 
and  from  the  lowest  bidder  who  produces  the  required  article.     The 
advertisement,  and  all  the  bids  received,  will  be  sent  to  the  Commissary- 
General  as  soon  as  the  purchasing-officer  has  accepted  the  proposals. 

1184.  When  a  deficiency  of  subsistence  stores  makes  an  additional 
supply  necessary,  the  Commissary  where  they  are  needed  will  make  a 
requisition  for  them   on  the  proper  purchasing  or  issuing  Commissary. 
{Form  15.)    If  the  stores  can  be  obtained  in  his  vicinity,  of  good  quality, 
and  on  terms  advantageous  to  the  Subsistence  Department,  the  Commis- 
sary requiring  them  shall  represent  such  facts  by  a  detailed  statement  to 
the  officer  charged  with  the  duty  of  providing  him  with  subsistence,  and, 
when  authorized,  will  himself  procure  the  stores  in  the  manner  prescribed 
in  preceding  paragraphs. 

1185.  A  disbursing  officer,  or  agent  of  the  Subsistence  Department, 
when  provided  with  sufficient  public  funds,  shall  pay  for  supplies  purchased 
by  him.     (Form  23.)     When  not  in  funds  he  shall  furnish  the  seller 
with  a  certified  account  of  the  purchase,  in  duplicate,  stating  thereon  the 

*  A  bond  for  the  performance  of  duties  pertaining  to  an  office  (a  Commissary's  bond, 
for  example)  is  liable  to  a  stamp  duty  of  fifty  cents.  The  officer  executing  this  bond 
furnishes,  affixes,  and  cancels  the  stamp  required.

cause  of  its  non-payment,  and  on  what  Return  he  has  taken  up  the 
articles.     (Form  24.) 

1186.  Subsistence  supplies    purchased   by  a  Commissary,  or   agent, 
whether  paid  for  or  not,  must  be  accounted  for  by  him  on  the  proper 
Return.    (Forms  1  and  8.)     The  name  of  each  person  from  whom  stores 
have   been  purchased  during  a  month,  date  of  purchase,  articles  and 
quantities  procured,  must  be  entered  on  the  Return  of  Provisions  for  that 
month  (Form  1),  or,  when  the  purchase  bills  are  many,  on  the  Abstract 
which  accompanies  the  Return.     (Form  6.)     When  stores  are  purchased 
but  not  paid  for,  a  note  to  that  effect  will  be  entered  by  the  purchasing 
officer  or  agent,  in  the  column  of  "Remarks"  to  his  Return  of  Provisions. 
or  its  accompanying  Abstract. 

1187.  Salt  meats  and  flour,  whether  procured  under  contract  or  other- 
wise, must  be  inspected  before  acceptance,  and  by  a  legal  inspector  for 
these  articles  when  the  services  of  such  an  officer  can  be  obtained.     A 
certificate  of  inspection,  in   duplicate  (Form   18),   will    be   taken    and 
attached  to  the  voucher  for  payment. 

1188.  The  Subsistence  Department  will  purchase  at  cost-prices,  with- 
out including  cost  of  transportation,  all  sound  articles  of  subsistence  saved 
by  troops  or  employees  by  an  economical  use  or  management  of  the  ration, 
— molasses,  green  or  desiccated  vegetables,  and  articles  furnished  as  anti- 
scorbutics, excepted.     This  is  intended  to  embrace  savings  of  companies, 
of  bakeries,   and  all  savings  from  the   ration   made   by  an    organized 
command.     The  purchase-bill  (Form  26)  will  be  made  out  in  the  letter  or 
name  of  the  company  to  which  the  savings  belong,  and  in  quadruplicate  ; 
two  copies  for  the  Commissary  who  takes  up  the  stores  (one  to  accompany 
his  Return  of  Provisions  to  the  Commissary-General),  and  two  copies  for 
the  Commissary  who  pays  the  bill.     Payment  for  these  savings  will  be 
made  to  the  actual  commanders  of  companies,  to  officers  in  charge  of 
bakeries,  &c.,  by  any  officer  of  the  Subsistence  Department  having  funds 
for  the  purpose,  and  on  proof  that  the  Commissary  certifying  to  the  bill 
has  made  a  Return  to  the  Commissary-General  satisfactorily  accounting 

for  the  stores. 

• 

STORAGE. 

1189.  Good  and  sufficient  storehouses,  sheds,  paulins,  or  other  proper 
and  adequate  means  of  covering  and  protecting  subsistence  supplies,  will 
be  provided  by  the  Quartermaster's  Department.     Care  must  be  taken  to 
keep  the  store-rooms  dry  and  well  ventilated.     (For  information  on  storing, 
see  "  Miscellaneous  Items/'  page  301.) 


244  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Subsistence  Department. The  Ration. 

THE    RATION.* 

1190.  A  ration  is  the  established  daily  allowance  of  food  for  one  person. 
For  the  United  States  army  it  is  composed  as  follows :  twelve  ounces  of 
pork  or  bacon,  or,  one  pound  and  four  ounces  of  salt  or  fresh  beef;  one 
pound  and  six  ounces  of  soft  bread  or  flour,  or,  one  pound  of  hard  bread, 
or,  one  pound  and  four  ounces  of  corn  meal;  and  to  every  one  hundred 
rations,  fifteen  pounds  of  beans  or  peas,j~  and  ten  pounds  of  rice  or 
hominy;    ten  pounds  of   green  coffee,  or,  eight  pounds  of  roasted  (or 
roasted  and  ground)  coffee,  or,  one  pound  and  eight  ounces  of  tea;  fifteen 
pounds  of  sugar ;  four  quarts  of  vinegar ;  one  pound  and  four  ounces  of 
adamantine  or  star  candles;   four  pounds  of   soap';    three  pounds  and 
twelve  ounces  of  salt  ;f  four  ounces  of  pepper ;  thirty  pounds  of  potatoes,"}* 
when  practicable,  and  one  quart  of  molasses.     The  Subsistence  Depart- 
ment, as  may  be  most  convenient  or  least  expensive  to  it,  and  according 
to  the  condition  and  amount  of  its  supplies,  shall  determine  whether  soft 
bread  or  flour,  and  what  other  component  parts  of  the  ration,  as  equi- 
valents, shall  be  issued. 

1191.  Desiccated  compressed  potatoes,  or  desiccated  compressed  mixed 
vegetables,  at  the  rate  of  one  ounce  and  a  half  of  the  former,  and  one 
ounce  of  the  latter,  to  the  ration,  may  be  substituted  for  beans,  peas,  rice, 
hominy,  or  fresh  potatoes. 

1192.  Sergeants  and  corporals  of  the  Ordnance  Department  (heretofore 
classed  as  armorers,  carriage-makers,  and  blacksmiths)  are  entitled,  each, 
to  one  and  a  half  rations  per  day;  all  other  enlisted  men,  to  one  ration 
a  day. 

1193.  Officers  in  charge  of  principal  depots  and  purchasing  stations 
will  render  to  the  Commissary-Greneral  monthly  statements  of  the  cost  and 
quality  of  the  ration,  in  all  its  parts,  at  their  stations.     The  annexed  table 
(pp.  306, 307.)  shows  the  quantity  in  bulk  of  each  part  of  the  ration,  in  any 
number  of  rations,  from  one  to  one  hundred  thousand. 

ISSUES    IN    BULK. 

1194.  Stores  longest  on  hand  shall  be  issued  first,  whether  the  issue

for  a  few  days  at  a  time,  shall,  when  practicable,  be  consolidated  for  the 
post  or  regiment  (Form  14),  and  shall  embrace  only  the  strength  of  the

only  such  parts  .thereof  are  issued  as  are  actually  required  for  the  support 
of  themselves  and  authorized  attendants.     The  difference  between  the

station,  and  the  value  of  the  stores  issued  to  it,  during  the  same  period 


248  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Subsistence  Department. Hospital  Fund. 

and  at  the  same  prices,  constitutes  a  credit  with  the  Subsistence  Depart- 
ment in  favor  of  the  hospital.     This  credit  is  called  "  Hospital  Fund." 

1212.  The  Commissary  who  issues  to  a  hospital  (post,  regimental,  field, 
general,  or  any  military  hospital)  is  authorized,  on  the  requisition  of  the 
medical  officer  in  charge,  to  expend  its  Hospital  Fund  in  purchasing  the 
following  articles,  or  in  paying  for  the  same,  when   procured  by  the 
medical  officer,  on  accounts  duly  made  out  and  certified  to  by  him  (Form 
25),  viz. : 

1st.  Food,  solid  or  fluid,  to  be  used  for  the  diet  of  the  sick,  and  not 
furnished  by  the  Subsistence  Department  or  Medical  Department 

2d.  Articles  to  be  used  in  either  the  preparation  or  serving  of  the  food, 
embracing  principally  cooking  utensils  and  table  furniture,  and  not 
furnished  by  the  Quartermaster's  Department  or  Medical  Department. 

3d.  G-as,  oil,  and  other  means  of  illumination,  to  be  used  instead  of 
candles,  which  are  part  of  the  soldier's  ration. 

1213.  The  Hospital  Fund  being  thus  a  means  for  supplying  the  suffering 
sick  with  food  and  conveniences  needful  for  their  health  and  more  com- 
fortable condition,  not  otherwise  to  be  obtained,  its  management  should  be 
held  as  a  sacred  trust,  and  its  expenditure  confined  strictly  to  the  purposes 
which  this  fund  is  designed  to  accomplish.     Medical  and  hospital  sup- 
plies, quartermasters'  supplies,  and  all  objects  of  expenditure  from  the 
appropriations  of  the  different  departments  of  the  military  service,  are  not 
proper  charges  against  the  hospital  credit.     (For  articles  furnished  by  the 
Medical  Department,   see  Subsistence    Regulations  of  1863,   pamphlet 
edition,  pages  69  and  70.) 

1214.  An  expenditure  of  money  by  the  Commissary  for  the  subsistence 
or  convenience  of  the  sick  in  hospital  is  accounted  for  in  the  manner 
prescribed  for  other  disbursements  of  the  Subsistence  Department.     At 
large  depots  or  general  hospitals,  this  fund  may  be  partly  expended  for 
the  benefit  of  the  sick  at  dependent  posts  or  in  detachments,  on  requisi- 
tions approved  by  the  Medical  Director  or  senior  Surgeon  of  the  district. 

1215.  A  "Statement  of  the  Hospital  Fund"  is  made  out  at  the  end 
of  each  calendar  month,  and  appears  as  a  part  of  the  Commissary's  "  Ab- 
stract of  Issues  to  Hospital"   for  that  month.     On  it  are  entered  the 
balance  of  credit  (if  any)  to  hospital  at  the  end  of  the  preceding  month, 
and  the  number  of  rations  due  it  in  the  month,  at  cost  price ;  also,  the 
stores  which  have  been  issued  by  the  Commissary  to  the  hospital,  and 
articles  purchased  by  him  for  the  sick,  during  this  period,  with  the  cost 
of  each  set  opposite.     The  difference  between  these  two  amounts  (credit 
and  debit)  leaves  an  ascertained  balance  of  credit  (if  the  hospital  fund 
for  the  month  has  not  been  entirely  used  up),  applicable  to  authorized 
expenditures  for  the  subsistence  or  convenience  of  the  sick  in  hospital

during  the  following  month.  This  statement  may  be  prepared  in  the 
same  manner,  at  any  day,  should  there  be  occasion  for  ascertaining  the 
exact  state  of  the  credit  of  a  hospital  at  any  particular  date.  An  "  Ab- 
stract of  Issues  to  Hospital,"  and  a  "  Statement  of  the  Hospital  Fund/' 
shall  be  made  out  monthly  for  each  separate  hospital. 

1216.  At  the  request  of  the  Surgeon-General,  and  on  instructions  from 
the  Commissary-General  of  Subsistence,  Hospital  Fund  may  be  transferred 
as  follows : 

The  Commissary  directed  to  transfer  any  portion  of  this  credit  from  a 
hospital  he  supplies  to  another  one,  drops  the  amount  specified  from  his 
next  statement  of  its  Hospital  Fund  as  transferred  to  the  hospital 
designated  in  the  instructions,  giving  (when  informed)  the  name,  rank, 
regiment  or  corps,  and  station  of  the  Commissary  who  issues  it.  The 
Commissary  directed  to  receive  a  stated  amount  of  this  credit,  takes  up 
the  same  in  favor  of  the  designated  hospital  supplied  by  him,  on  his 
next  statement  of  its  Hospital  Fund,  and  as  received  from  the  one  men- 
tioned in  the  instructions,  giving  (when  informed)  the  name,  rank,  regiment 
or  corps,  and  station  of  the  Commissary  who  issues  to  such  hospital. 

When  an  officer  is  relieved  from  subsistence  duty,  he  shall  give  his 
successor  a  certified  statement  of  the  hospital  credit  of  each  separate 
hospital  supplied  by  him,  and  shall  note  such  action  on  the  hospital  Ab- 
stract. His  successor  shal'  take  up  these  credits  in  favor  of  each  separate 
hospital  he  issues  to,  in  mauner  as  above  explained.  Hospital  Fund,  being 
a  credit  only,  cannot  be  transferred  from  one  officer's  papers  to  another's 
as  money. 

1217.  Mode  of   ascertaining  the  cost*at  which  the  ration  shall  be

parts  of  the  ration  are  variable.  The  Commissary's  invoices  of  stores 
received  in  the  month  will  give  the  prices  from  which  to  calculate  the 
cost  of  the  ration  for  that  month. 

WASTAGE. 

1218.  Wastage  on  issues  from  evaporation,  leakage,  &c.,  will  be  ascer- 
tained monthly,  or  when  most  convenient.     The  actual  deficiency  thus 
found  will  be  reported  on  the  Return  of  Provisions.     Ordinary  waste  on 
issues  to  troops,  &c.  should  not  exceed,  say  three  per  cent,  on  salt  meats, 
flour,  hard  bread,  corn-meal,  sugar,  vinegar,  soap,  and  salt;  and  one  per 
cent,  on  beans,  peas,  rice,  hominy,  coffee,  tea,  candles,  and  pepper.     No 
wastage  is  allowed  on  stores  turned  over  in  bulk  from  one  officer  to  another, 
or  on  issues  of  fresh  beef  furnished  directly  from  the  butcher.     Surplus 
stores  shall  be  taken  up  on  the  Return  of  Provisions  (Form  1)  as  "  gained 
in  issuing." 

1219.  Loss  on  issues  exceeding  ordinary  waste,  errors  in  the  estimated 
weight  of  beef  on  the  hoof,  and  loss  on  cattle  strayed,  stolen,  or  died, 
must  be  accounted  for  by  affidavit,  board  of  survey,  certificate  of  a  com- 
missioned officer,  or  other  satisfactory  evidence,  according  to  the  magni- 
tude of  the  loss  and  the  circumstances  of  the  case. 

BEEP    CATTLE. 

1220.  When  practicable,  beef  cattle  presented  for  acceptance,  whether 
procured  under  contract  or  purchased  in  open  market,  must  be  weighed 
on  the  scales.     From  the  live  weight  of  a  steer  thus  ascertained,  his  net 
weight  shall  be  determined  by  deducting  forty-five  per  cent,  when  his 
gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300)  pounds,  and  fifty  per  cent, 
when  less  than  that,  and  not  under  eight  hundred  (800)  pounds.     When 
it  is  impracticable  to  weigh  on  the  scales,  one  or  more  average  steers  must 
be  selected,  killed,  and  dressed  in  the  usual  manner.     The  average  net 
weight  of  these  (necks,  shanks,  and   kidney  tallow  excluded)  shall  be 
accepted  as  the  average  net  weight  of  the  herd. 

1221.  In  all  written  instruments  for  the  delivery  of  beef  cattle,  the 
manner  prescribed  above  for  determining  net  weight  must  be  inserted ;  in 
verbal  agreements  (which  will  be  allowed  -only  when  time  does  not  admit 


FOE  TJJE    AEMY.  251

of  reducing  to  writing  the  terms  agreed  upon)  this  mode  must  be  under- 
stood and  accepted  by  the  party  delivering  the  cattle. 

1222.  Hay,  corn,  and  other  forage  will  be  procured  for  beef  cattle 
when  the  pasture  is  insufficient. 

1223.  Beef  received  on  the  hoof,  whether  under  contract,  by  open 
purchase,  or  otherwise,  shall  be  accounted  for  on  the  Return  of  Provisions 
by  the  number  of  cattle,  and  by  their  net  weight  in  pounds.     When  beef 
cattle  are  transferred,  they  should  be  appraised,  if  possible,  and  their  loss 
or  gain  in  weight  since  previous  appraisement  reported  by  the  officer 
delivering  the  cattle. 

ABSTRACTS    OF    ISSUES. 

1224.  Issues  to  troops  (regulars),  to  volunteers  and  militia,  to  sailors, 
to  marines,  to  prisoners  of  war  or  State,  to  citizens  employed  with  the 
army,  to  Indians,  to  "  contrabands/'  to  hospitals,  and  extra  issues,  shall 
be  entered  on  separate  Abstracts,  each  certified  to  by  the  commanding 
officer  of  the  post  or  station.     The  "  original  ration  returns"  will  be 
retained  by  the  officer  who  certifies  to  the  Abstract — the  latter,  after 
completion,  being  the  Commissary's  voucher  for  the  issues. 

1225.  Abstracts  of  issues  shall  show,  in  column  of  il  Remarks,"  the 
corps  or  detachment  issued  to  on  each  ration  return ;  and  if  to  citizens, 
the  particular  department  in  which  they  are    employed.      When  they 
require  more  than  one  sheet,  the  sheets  will  be  numbered  in  series — the 
total  at  the  foot  of  each  carried  to  the  head  of  the  next,  &c. 

DAMAGED    SUPPLIES.* 

1226.  When  supplies   on   hand   become   damaged,  the    Commissary 
accountable  for  them  shall  report  it  to  the  commanding  officer,  who  will 
make,  or  cause  to  be  made,  a  critical  inspection  of  them.    (See  paragraphs 
1018  to  include  1025 ;  also  Form  17.)     Under  orders  from  the  proper 
authority  (paragraph  1023),  the  supplies  examined  shall  be  disposed  of

*  Whon  public  property  is  presented  to  an  inspector  for  condemnation,  the  officer 
responsible  will  certify  on  the  inventory  that  the  property  had  not  been  previously  con- 
demned. The  inspector  will  mark  the  letters  I.  C.  (Inspected — Condemned)  upon  all

of  stores  to  officers  for  their  personal  use,  and  in  like  cases,  shall  be  on 
due  public  notice,  and  in  such  market  as  the  interests  of  the  service  may 
require.  The  order  for  the  sale,  the  auctioneer's  bill  of  sale  exhibiting 
the  names  of  purchasers,  articles,  and  quantities  sold,  prices  obtained, 
&c.,  and  a  copy  of  the  inspection  report,  shall  accompany  the  Return  of 
Provisions  to  the  Commissary-General. 

1228.  Subsistence  supplies,  in  good  condition,  but  not  required  for  use, 
will  be  disposed  of  Toy  orders  from  the  Commissary-General.  In  urgent 
cases,  and  on  the  advice  of  an  inspecting  officer,  they  may  be  sold  as  pre- 
scribed in  preceding  paragraph. 

1229. 'An  officer  may  purchase  subsistence  from  the  Commissariat, 
paying  cash  for  it  on  delivery,  at  cost  prices,  without  including  cost  of 
transportation,  on  his  certificate  that  it  is  for  the  use  of  himself  and 
family.  These  certified  lists  the  commanding  officer  shall  compare  with 
the  Commissary's  monthly  Abstract  of  Sales  to  Officers,  and  if  correct, 
so  certify.  (Form  7.)  Commanding  officers  of  companies  may,  in  the 
same  way,  when  authorized  by  the  post  commander,  purchase  subsistence 
for  their  company  mess. 

1230.  When  provisions  can  be  safely  spared  from  the  public  supplies, 
the  commanding  officer  is  authorized  to  allow  their  sale,  in  small  quanti- 
ties, to  persons  employed  with  the  army,  when  they  cannot  otherwise  pro- 
cure food,  and  to  Indian  agents  for  issue  to  Indians  in  their  respective 
nations,  or  when  visiting  military  posts.     Such  sales  shall  be  for  cash, 
at  cost,  including  all  expenses. 

1231.  Subsistence   supplies   may  be  sold  to  any  department  of  the 
military  service  for  public  use,  when  the  amount  on  hand  will  admit  of 
it.     Such  sales  shall  be  for  cash,  at  cost,  without  including  cost  of  trans- 
portation. 

1232.  The  articles  and  quantities  of  stores  sold  during  any  month  shall 
be  reported  on  the  Commissary's  Return  of  Provisions  for  that  month; 
and  the  net  proceeds  of  all  sales  of  subsistence  supplies  shall  be  credited 
to  the  United  States  in  his  Summary  Statement  and  Account  Current, 
for  the  month.     (Forms  9  and  10.) 

1233.  Empty  barrels,  boxes,  hides,  &c.,  shall  be  sold,  and  the  net  pro- 
ceeds of  sale  accounted  for  as  indicated  in  preceding  paragraph.

be  sold  to  the  Subsistence  Department.     (See  paragraph  1188.)

entered  on  separate  Abstracts.     One  copy  of  each  shall  accompany  tho 
Return  of  Provisions,  and  one  copy  the  Account  Current. 

RECRUITING    SERVICE. 

1236.  When  subsistence  cannot  be  advantageously  issued  by  the  Com- 
missariat to  recruiting  parties,  it  will  be  procured  by  the  officer  in  charge, 
on  written  contracts  for  complete  rations.     When  a  contract  is  for  board 
and  lodging,  the  amount  to  be  paid  for  each  must  be  separately  mentioned 
therein  (Form  36) ;  board  only  will  be  paid  by  the  Subsistence  Depart- 
ment.    (See  articles  "  Contracts"  and  "  Purchases,"  pages  241  and  242.) 

1237.  Under  circumstances  rendering  it  impossible  to  make  a  contract, 
the  recruiting  officer  may  pay  from  subsistence  funds  the  actual  necessary 
expenses  of  subsisting  his  party. 

1238.  When  the  recruiting  officer  does  not  disburse  subsistence  funds, 
the  contractor  will  send  to  the  Commissary-General  for  payment,  monthly, 
his  accounts  for  rations  issued  (Form  20),  accompanied  by  the  Abstract 
of  Issues,  certified  to  by  the  recruiting  officer.    (Form  19.)    In  that  case, 
the  expense  of  subsistence  at  branch  rendezvous,  and  of  advertising  for 
proposals,  &c.,  will  be  paid  for  by  the  contractor  at  the  principal  station, 
and  included  in  his  accounts. 

1239.  Issues  of  subsistence  will  be  made  on  the  usual  ration  returns 
(Form  13),  and  board  will  be  furnished  on  a  return  showing  the  number 
of  men  and  of  days,  dates,  &c. 

SPECIAL    SERVICE. 

1240.  The  commanding  officer  will  detail  a  suitable  non-commissioned 
officer  or  private  soldier  for  special  service  in  the  Subsistence  Depart- 
ment, when  such  service  is  needed.    The  soldier  so  detailed  will  be  under 
the  orders  of  the   Commissary,  and  will  be  exempt  from  company  or 
garrison  duty.     No  extra  pay  for  this  service  is  allowed. 

COMMUTATION   OF   RATIONS.* 

1241.  No  persons,  except  those  who  are  by  law  entitled  to  rations,  will 
be  allowed  commutation  therefor. 

*  The  commutation  of  rations  allowed  by  the  Secretary  of  War  in  exceptional  cases, 
since  April  24,  1862,  is  not  affected  by  these  regulations. 

NOTES. — When  the  care  of  sick  and  wounded  soldiers  is  assumed  by  the  States  from 
which  they  come,  the  Subsistence  Department  will  commute  their  rations  at  twenty-five 
cents. 

Tho  rations  of  prisoners  held  in  the  rebel  States  shall  be  commuted  for  and  during  the 
period  of  their  imprisonment,  on  rolls  or  accounts  prepared  and  certified  to  by  the  Com- 
missary-General of  Prisoners ;  the  commutation  to  be  rated  at  cost  price  of  the  ration. 

The  settlement  of  accounts  for  the  board  of  soldiers  in  private  hospitals  is  assigned 
to  the  Surgeon-General's  Department. 


254                                 REVISED    REGULATIONS 
Subsistence  Department. Expenditures. 

1242.  Commutation,  in  lieu  of  subsistence  in  kind,  will  not  be  allowed 
to  recruiting  parties  while  at  their  stations,  nor  to  soldiers  serving  where 
subsistence  is  provided  by  the  Government.     When  practicable,  persons 
entitled  to  rations  must  draw  them  at  the  place  and  time  they  are  due,  or 
forfeit  their  claim  to  them. 

1243.  Commutation  will  be  allowed  to  soldiers  while  on  furlough  by 
competent  authority,  to  medical  cadets,  to  female  nurses  employed  in  per- 
manent or  general  hospitals,  and  to  persons  entitled  to  rations  when 
stationed  where  the  Government  has  not  provided  subsistence  for  them, 
on  satisfactory  evidence  that  they  have  not  received  rations,  or  an  equi- 
valent   therefor,   during   the  time  for  which    commutation   is    claimed. 
(Form  22.)     The  rate  of  commutation  in  these  cases  shall  be  the  cost  of 
the  ration  at  the  station  where  it  is  due.     The  authority  competent  to 
give  a  furlough  is  indicated  in  the  General  Regulations  of  the  Army,  or 
is  announced  from  time  to  time  in  orders  from  the  War  Department. 
Payment  of  commutation  to  a  soldier  while  on  furlough  shall  not  be  made 
until  he  has  returned  to  duty,  or  until  he  is  discharged  fronuthe  military 
service,  when  furloughed  to  that  date ;  and  when  the  voucher  for  pay- 
ment is  not  accompanied  by  the  furlough,  the  fact  of  payment,  fully  and 
officially  attested,  shall  be  entered  on  the  furlough.     (Form  35.) 

1244.  When  a  soldier  is  travelling  on  detached  command,  and  it  is 
impracticable  to  carry  rations  with  him,  his  subsistence  may  be  commuted 
at  a  rate  not  exceeding  seventy-five  cents  a  day,  to  be  paid  by  the  Com- 
missary when  due,  or  in  advance  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer. 
The  voucher  shall  show  on  its  face  the  nature  and  extent  of  the  duty  the 
soldier  was  directed  to  perform,  and  be  certified  by  the  officer  under 
whose  order  the  journey  was  made,  that  it  was  impracticable  for  the 
soldier  to  carry  rations  with  him.  (Form  21.) 

EXPENDITURES. 

1245.  Subsistence  funds  shall  not  be  used  in  payment  of  supplies  or 
services  pertaining  to  another  staff  department,  nor  applied  to  purposes 
other  than  those  for  which  these  funds  have  been  appropriated  by  Congress. 

1246.  Vouchers  for  disbursement  of  public  funds  shall  specify  the 
quantity  and  price  of  each  article  bought,  date  of  purchase,  name  of 
person  from  whom  procured,  &c.     (Forms  23,  25,  and  26.)     When  the 
vouchers  are  for  services  rendered,  and  like  cases,  they  shall  state  the 
nature  of  duty,  period  of  service,  rate  of  pay  per  day  or  month,  &c. 
They  shall  also  set  out  a  sufficient  explanation  of  the  object,  necessity, 
and  propriety  of  the  expenditure,  attested  by  the  certificate  of  an  officer 
or  other  satisfactory  evidence.     (Forms  21,  22,  27.  and  28.) 

1247.  Receipts  for  subsistence  funds  disbursed  or   transferred   shall

state  place  and  date  of  payment  or  transfer,  name,  rank,  and  regiment  or 
corps,  of  officer  from  whom  the  money  is  received;  and  the  amount  shall 
be  expressed  in  words.  (Forms  21  and  33.) 

1248.  As  soldiers  are  expected  to  preserve,  distribute,  and  cook  their 
own  subsistence,  the  .hire  of  citizens  for  any  of  these  duties  is  not  allowed. 
When  bakeries  are  not  managed  by  the  Subsistence  Department,  their 
expenses  for  hops,  yeast,  furniture,  sieves,  cloths,  the  hire  of  bakers,  &c., 
are  paid  from  the  post  fund,  to  which  the  profits  then  accrue  by  army 
regulations.    (See  paragraph  198.)    Ovens  may  be  built  or  paid  for  by  the 
Subsistence  Department,  but  not  bake-houses. 

1249.  When  a  claim  for  authorized  supplies  is  presented  to  a  Commis- 
sary for  articles  delivered  to  his  predecessor  or  other  officer  of  the  Sub- 
sistence Department,  he  shall  require  a  certified  voucher  in  duplicate 
from  the  officer  to  whom  the  articles  were  delivered  (Form  24),  and  the 
affidavit  of  claimant  that  he  has  not  been  paid,  directly  or  indirectly,  for 
the  supplies,  nor  has  authorized  any  person  to  receive  payment  for  him. 
Such  voucher,  before  being  paid,  will  be  forwarded  to  the  Commissary- 
G-eneral  of  Subsistence  for  approval  or  instruction  in  the  case. 

1250.  No  officer  or  agent  of  the  Subsistence  Department,  disbursing 
public  money,  will  pay  any  claim  or  account  presented  through  agents  or 
collectors,  except  on  regular  power  of  attorney,  executed  after  the  account 
or  claim  is  due  and  payable,  and  unless  such  agent  or  collector  is  con- 
sidered by  the  disbursing  officer  amply  able  to  reimburse  the  United 
States,  or  the  disbursing  officer,  in  case  such  claim  or  account  shall,  sub- 
sequent to  payment,  prove  to  be  unjust  or  fraudulent;    and  when  an 
account  is  presented  in  person  by  an  individual  who  is  not  known  to  the 
disbursing  officer,  the  latter  will  require  such  evidence  of  identity  as  will 
secure  the  Government  against  fraud. 

RETURNS   AND   ACCOUNTS. 

1251.  Every  officer  and  agent  of  the  Subsistence  Department  intrusted 
with  its  supplies  or  funds  shall  render  monthly  to  the  Commissary-General

II.  Receipts  for  funds,  abstract  of  purchases,  and  abstract  of  contin- 
gencies (each  with  its  appropriate  vouchers),  abstract  of  sales  to  officers, 
&c.,  will  be  officially  signed,  properly  endorsed,  carefully  assorted,  and 
put  up  in  like  manner,  with  the  Account  Current  for  the  same  month. 

III.  In  all  cases,  official  papers  will  be  accompanied  by  a  letter  of 
advice,   enumerating   them,  and   briefly  giving   necessary  explanations. 
(See  paragraphs  1263,  1264,  1265,  and  Form  34.) 

1255.  When  an  officer   or  agent  of  the  Subsistence  Department  is 
relieved,  he  shall  certify  the  outstanding  debts  to  his  successor,  and  turn 
over  to  him  the  public  funds  and  supplies  for  which  he  is  accountable, 
unless  otherwise  ordered.      His  Return  of  Provisions   and  Return   of 
Commissary  Property  will  be  closed,  but  his  money  accounts  kept  open 
until  the   end  of  the  month,  unless  he  has  ceased  to  disburse.      (See 
paragraph  1253.) 

1256.  A  book  will  be  kept  by  the  Commissary  at  each  permanent  post, 
in  which  shall  be  entered  the  Return  of  Provisions  received,  issued,  &c.,

been  made,  and  whether  paid  for.     It  is  called  the  Commissary's  Book, 
and  will  not  be  removed  from  the  post. 

REMARKS. 

1257.  Disbursing  officers  and  agents  of  the  Subsistence  Department 
are  required  to  retain  one  complete  set  of  official  papers  (see  paragraphs 
1252  and  1253)  for  reference  or  other  use. 

1258.  No  charge  for  printing  blank  forms  will  be  allowed.     When 
practicable  to  provide  them,  these  forms  will  be  furnished  officers  by  the 
Subsistence  Bureau.    When  officers  are  not  thus  furnished,  they  must  rule 
out  forms  for  use  from  the  public  stationery  to  correspond  with  those 
prescribed.     The  want  of  printed  blanks  will  furnish  no  excuse  to  an 
officer  for  delay  or  failure  in  the  rendition  of  his  Returns  and  Accounts. 

1259.  The  envelops  of  all  official  communications  to  the  Commissary- 
General  of  Subsistence  will  be  marked  "  Official/'  with  the  signature 
thereto  of  the  officer  writing  the  communication. 

1200.  Under  existing  laws,  packages  to  the  Commissary-General  of 
Subsistence  on  official  business  are  carried  in  the  United  States  mail  free 
of  postage,  and  should  be  intrusted  to  the  Post  Office  Department  for 
delivery  whenever  practicable.  Packages  for  the  Commissary-General 
of  Subsistence,  on  official  business,  will  not  be  committed  to  express 
agencies  for  delivery  unless  all  charges  for  the  service  are  prepaid. 

12(51.  Postage  and  despatches  by  telegraph  on  public  business,  paid 
by  an  officer,  will  be  refunded  to  him  by  the  Quartermaster's  Department. 
These  expenses  are  not  to  be  paid  for  with  subsistence  funds. 

1262.  Officers  doing  duty  in  the  Subsistence  Department  should  be 
particular  to  forward  with  their  Returns  and  Accounts,  in  addition  to  the 
required  vouchers,  all  orders  of  commanding  officers,  and  other  papers, 
upon  which  they  may  rely  t,,  relieve  themselves  from  responsibility. 

1263.  An  official  letter  addressed  to  the  Commissary-General  of  Sub- 
sistence, whenever  its  length  will  permit,  shall  be  written  on  a  half-sheet 
of  letter-paper,  and  shall  refer  to  one  matter  only. 

1264.  The  post-office  address  of  an  officer's  station  shall  be  given  in 

his   official  letters.      "In  the  field,"  "Head-Quarters ,"  "Camp 

,"  and  other  similar  indefinite  expressions  of  locality,  do  not  of 

themselves  indicate  the  place  at  or  near  which  an  officer  is  stationed. 

1265.  Persons  in  the  military  service,  when  signing  official  letters, 
Returns,  Accounts,  &c.,  should  write  their  names  plainly.     Underneath 
the  name,  their  rank,  company,  and   regiment,  corps,  or  other  official 
designation,  should  be  written  legibly.     Official  papers  shall  be  signed  by 
the  officer  to  whom  they  belong,  and  not  by  his  clerk  or  any  deputy.     A 
regimen  f<tf  officer  on  staff  duty  (a  Commissary  to  a  brigade  or  division,

for  example)  should  not  omit  to  write  under  his  signature  the  number  of 
his  regiment,  and  the  State,  District,  or  Territory  to  which  it  belongs. 

1266.  On  the  first  day  of  each  month,  the  officers  of  the  Subsistence 
Department  will  report  by  letter  to  the  Commissary-General  their  stations 
and  duties  during  the  preceding  month.  This  letter  is  required  from 
Commissaries  of  Subsistence  only,  and  not  from  officers  acting  as  such.

MISCELLANEOUS  ITEMS. 

1.  When  practicable,  each  kind  of  subsistence  stores  shall  be  placed 
by  itself, — the  packages  stored  so  as  to  allow  circulation  among  them,  and 
to  permit  the  quantity  and  age  (date  of  purchase)  of  each  lot  being  easily 
ascertained.     At  short  intervals  of  time  the  stores  and  packages  shall  be 
carefully  examined,  and,  when  necessary,  separated  for  inspection,  early

be  governed  in  these  particulars  by  the  kind  of  transportation  offered, 
by  the  size  of  the  wagons  used,  by  the  convenience  of  handling  the 
packages,  &c. 

10.  When  hard  bread  is  put  in  boxes  (the  best  packages  for  field  trans- 
portation), they  should  be  made  of  fully-seasoned  wood,  of  a  kind  to 
impart  no  taste  or  odor  to  the  bread,  and  as  far  as  practicable  of  single 
pieces.     When  two  pieces  are  used  in  making. the  same  surface,  they 
should  be  tongued  and  grooved  together. 

11.  A  box  26  x  17  x  11  inches,  exterior  measure,  is  an  average  box 
for  pilot  bread,  under  the  usual  circumstances  of  land  transportation. 
The  ends  of  a  box  of  this  size  should  be  made  of  inch,  and  the  remainder 
of  five-eighths,  stuff,  the  package  well  strapped  with  green  hickory  or 
other  suitable  wood. 

12.  Hard  bread,  after  thorough  cooling  and  drying,  should  be  pressed 
closely  in  its  packages,  each  package  containing  a  uniform  weight  of 
bread,  for  the  convenience  of  calculation.     It  can  be  re-dried  in  boxes

ARTICLE  XLIV. 

MEDICAL   DEPARTMENT. 

1266.  The  medical  supplies  for  the  army  are  prescribed  in  the  standard 
supply  tables. 

1267.  The  medical  purveyors  and  the  senior  medical  officer  of  each 
hospital,  post,  or  command,  will   make   the  necessary  requisitions   for 
medical  and  hospital  supplies,  in  duplicate  (Form  1).      If  the  supplies 
are  to  be  obtained  from  the  principal  purveying  depots,  the  requisitions 
will  be  made  upon  the  Surgeon-General  on  the  31st  day  of  December 
annually;  if  from  department  or  field  depdts,  they  will  be  made  upon 
the  medical  director  at  such  times  and  for  such  periods  as  he  may  direct. 
Good  vaccine  matter  will  be  kept  on  hand  by  timely  requisition  on  the 
Surgeon-General. 

1268.  The  medical  purveyors  at  the  principal  dep6ts  will  issue  medical 
and  hospital  supplies  only  on  the  order  of  the  Surgeon-General ;  those 
at  department  or  field  dep6ts  will  issue  on  the  order  of  a  medical  director. 
In  particular  and  urgent  cases,  issues  may  be  made  on  a  special  requisi- 
tion (Form  2),  approved  by  a  commanding  officer ;  a  like  authority  will 
be  required  in  transfers  of  medical  supplies. 

1269.  When  it  is  necessary  to  purchase  medical  supplies,  and  recourse 
cannot  be  had  to  a  medical  disbursing  officer,  they  may  be  procured  by 
the  quartermaster  on  a  special  requisition  (Form  2)  and  account  (Form  3). 

1270.  When  any  requisition  for  medical  supplies  is  not  according  to 
the  supply  table,  the  reason  therefor  must  be  set  out. 

1271.  In  every  case  of  special  requisition,  a  duplicate  of  the  requisi- 
tion shall,  at  the  same  time,  be  transmitted  to  the  Surgeon-General,  for 
his  information,  giving  the  name  and  station  of  the  officer  upon  whom  it 
is  made. 

1272.  Medical  purveyors  will  make  to  the  Surgeon-General,  at  the  end 
of  each  fiscal  quarter,  returns  in  duplicate  (Form  4)  of  medical  supplies 
received,  issued,  and  remaining  on  hand,  stating  to  whom,  or  from  whom, 
and  where  and  when  issued  or  received ;  other  medical  officers  in  charge 
of  medical  supplies  make  similar  returns  of  them  annually,  on  the  3 1st 
December ;  and  all  officers,  when  relieved  from  the  duty  to  which  their 
returns  relate.     The  returns  will  show  the  condition  of  the  stores,  and 
particularly  of  the  instruments,  bedding,  and  furniture.     Medical  pur- 
veyors will  furnish  abstracts  of  receipts  and  issues,  with  their  returns 
(Form  5),  giving  the  name  of  the  person  from  whom  received  and  to 
whom  issued. 

1273.  An  officer  transferring  medical  supplies  will  furnish  a  certified 


310  REVISED  REGULATIONS 

Medical  Department. 

invoice  to  the  officer  who  is  to  receive  them,  and  transmit  a  duplicate  of 
it  to  the  Surgeon-General.  The  receiving  officer  will  furnish  a  receipt  to 
the  officer  making  the  issue,  with  a  report  of  the  quality  and  condition 
of  the  articles,  and  transmit  a  duplicate  of  the  receipt  and  report  to  the 
Surgeon-General.  A  medical  officer  who  turns  over  medical  supplies  to 
a  quartermaster  for  storage  or  transportation  will  forward  to  the  Surgeon- 
General;  with  the  invoice,  the  quartermaster's  receipt  for  the  packages. 

1274.  Medical  officers  will  take  up  and  account  for  all  medical  supplies 
of  the  army  that  come  into  their  possession,  and  report,  when  they  know 
it,  to  whose  account  they  are  to  be  credited. 

1275.  In  all  official  lists  of  medical  supplies  the  articles  will  be^ntered 
in  the  order  of  the  supply  table. 

1276.  Medical  disbursing  officers  will,  at  the  end  of  each  fiscal  quar- 
ter, render  to  the    Surgeon-General,  in  duplicate,  a  quarterly  account 
current  of  moneys  received  and  expended,  with  the  proper  vouchers  for 
the  payments,  and  certificates  that  the  services  have  been  rendered,  and 
the  supplies  purchased  and  received  for  the  medical  service,  and  transmit 
to  him  an  estimate  of  the  funds  required  for  the  next  quarter. 

1277.  The   senior   medical  officer   of  a  hospital  will   distribute   the 
patients,  according  to  convenience  and  the  nature  of  their  complaints,  into 
wards  or  divisions,  under  the  particular  charge  of  the  several  assistant  sur- 
geons, and  will  visit  them  himself  each  day,  as  frequently  as  the  state  of 
the  sick  may  require,  accompanied  by  the  assistant,  steward,  and  nurse. 

1278.  His  prescriptions  of  medicine  and  diet  are  written  down  at  once 
in  the  proper  register,  with  the  name  of  the  patient  and  the  number  of 
his  bed ;  the  assistants  fill  up  the  diet  table  for  the  day,  and  direct  the 
administration  of  the  prescribed  medicines.     He  will  detail  an  assistant 
surgeon  to  remain  at  the  hospital  day  and  night,  when  the  state  of  the 
sick  requires  it. 

1279.  In  distributing  the  duties  of  his  assistants,  he  will  ordinarily 
require  the  ^id  of  one  in  the  care  and  preparation  of  the  hospital  reports, 
registers,  and  records,  the  rolls,  and  descriptive  lists ;  and  of  another  in 
the  charge  of  the  dispensary,  instruments,  medicines,  hospital  expendi- 
tures, and  the  preparation  of  the  requisitions  and  annual  returns. 

1280.  He  will  enforce  the  proper  hospital  regulations  to  promote  health 
and  prevent  contagion,  by  ventilated  and  not  crowded  rooms,  scrupulous 
cleanliness,  frequent  changes  of  bedding,  linen,  &c. 

1281.  He  will  require  the  steward  to  take  due  care  of  the  hospital 
stores  and  supplies;  to  enter  in  a  book,  daily  (Form  6),  the  issues  to  the 
ward-masters,  cooks,  and  nurses ;  to  prepare  the  provision  returns,  and 
receive  and  distribute  the  rations. 

1282.  He  will  require  the  ward-master  to  take  charge  of  the  effects 


FOB  THE  ARMY.  8H 


Medical  Department. 


of  the  patients ;  to  register  them  in  a  book  (Form  7) ;  to  have  them 
numbered  and  labeled  with  the  patient's  name,  rank,  and  company;  to 
receive  from  the  steward  the  furniture,  bedding,  cooking-utensils,  &c.,  for 
use,  and  keep  a  record  of  them  (Form  8),  and  how  distributed  to  the 
Wards  and  kitchens  ;  and  once  a  week  to  take  an  inventory  of  the  articles 
in  use,  and  report  to  him  any  loss  or  damage  to  them,  and  to  return  to 
the  steward  such  as  are  not  required  for  use. 

1283.  The  cooks  and  nurses  are  under  the  orders  of  the  steward ;  he 
is  responsible  for  the  cleanliness  of  the  wards  and  kitchens,  patients  and 
attendants,  and  all  articles  in  use.     He  will  ascertain  who  are  present  at 
sunrise,  and  sunset,  and  tattoo,  and  report  absentees. 

1284.  At  surgeon's  call  the  sick  then  in  the  companies  will  be  con- 
ducted to  the  hospital  by  the  first  sergeants,  who  will  each  hand  to  the 
surgeon,  in  his  company  book,  a  list  of  all  the  sick  of  the  company,  on 
which  the  surgeon  shall  state  who  are  to  remain  or  go  into  hospital; 
who  are  to  return  to  quarters  as  sick  or  convalescent ;  what  duties  the 
convalescents  in  quarters  are  capable  of;  what  cases  are  feigned  ;  and  any 
other  information  in  regard  to  the  sick  of  the  company  he  may  have  to 
communicate  to  the  company  commander. 

1285.  Soldiers  in   hospital,  patients,  or  attendants,  except  stewards, 
shall  be  mustered  on  the  rolls  of  their  company,  if  it  be  present  at  the 
post. 

1286.  When  a  soldier  in  hospital  is  detached  from  his  company  so  as 
not  to  be  mustered  with  it  for  pay,  his  company  commander  shall  certify 
and  send  to  the  hospital  his  descriptive  list,  and  account  of  pay  and 
clothing,  containing  all  necessary  information  relating  to  his  accounts 
with  the  United  States,  on  which  the  surgeon  shall  enter  all  payments, 
stoppages,  and  issues  of  clothing  to  him  in  hospital.     When  he  leaves 
the  hospital,  the  medical  officer  shall  certify  and  remit  his  descriptive  list, 
uhowing  the  state  of  his  accounts.     If  he  is  discharged  from  the  service 
in  hospital,  the  surgeon  shall  make  out  his  final  statements  for  pay  and 
clothing.     If  he  dies  in  hospital,  the  surgeon  shall  take  charge  of  his 
effects,  and  make  the  reports  required  in  the  general  regulations  concern- 
ing soldiers  who  die  absent  from  their  companies. 

1287.  Patients  in  hospital  are,  if  possible,  to  leave  their  arms  and 
accoutrements  with  their  companies,  and  in  no  case  to  take  ammunition 
into  the  hospital. 

1288.  When  a  patient  is  transferred  from  one  hospital  to  another,  the

rangement of  the  urinary  organs,  ophthalmia,  ulcers,  or  any  obscure  disease 
liable  to  be  feigned  or  purposely  produced ;  and  in  no  case  shall  such  cer- 
tificate be  given  until  after  sufficient  time  and  examination  to  detect  any 
attempt  at  deception. 

1297.  In  passing  a  recruit  the  medical  officer  is  to  examine  him  stripped; 
to  see  that  he  has  free  use  of  all  his  limbs ;  that  his  chest  is  ample ; 
that  his  hearing,  vision,  and  speech  are  perfect;  that  he  has  no  tumors, 
or  ulcerated  or  extensively  cicatrized  legs ;  no  rupture  or  chronic  cuta-

1298.  Medical  officers  attending  recruiting  rendezvous  will  keep  a  re- 
cord (Form  14)  of  all  the  recruits  examined  by  them.     Books  for  this 
purpose  will  be  procured  by  application  to  the  Surgeon-General,  to  whom 
they  will  be  returned  when  filled. 

1299.  As  soon  as  a  recruit  joins  any  regiment  or  station,  he  shall  be 
examined  by  the  medical  officer,  and  vaccinated  when  it  is  required. 

1300.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  each  hospital,  post,  regiment^  or 
detachment,  will  make  monthly  to  the  medical  director,  and  quarterly  to

1301.  After  surgeon's  call,  he  will  make  a  morning  report  of  the  sick 
to  the  commanding  officer  (Form  16). 

1302.  Every  medical  officer  will  report  to  the  Surgeon-General  and  to 
the  medical  director  the  date  when  he  arrives  at  a  station,  or  when  he 
leaves  it,  and  his  orders  in  the  case,  and  at  the  end  of  each  month  when- 
ever not  at  his  station,  whether  on  service  or  on  leave  of  absence,  and 
when  on  leave  of  absence  his  post-office  address  for  the  next  month. 

1303.  The   medical   director   will   make   to   the   Surgeon-General    a 
monthly  return  of  the  medical  officers  of  the  command  (Form  17),  and  a 
consolidated  monthly  report  of  the  sick  and  wounded  (Form  15)  from 
the  several  reports  made  to  him. 

1304.  When  it  is  necessary  to  employ  a  private  physician  as  medical 
officer,  the  commanding  officer  may  do  it  by  written  contract,  conditioned* 
as  in  Form  18,  at  a  stated  compensation  not  to  exceed  $50  a  month  when 
the  number  of  officers  and  men,  with  authorized  servants  and  laundresses, 
is  100  or  more;    $40  when  it  is  from  50  to  100,  and  $30  when  it  is

1305.  But  when  he  is  required  to  abandon  his  own  business,  and  give 
his  whole  time  to  the  public  service,  the  contract  may  be  not  to  exceed 
$80  a  month;  and  not  to  exceed  $100,  besides  transportation  in  kind,  to 
be  furnished  by  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  where  he  is  required  to 
accompany  troops  on  marches  or  transports.     But  a  private  physician  will 
not  be  employed  to  accompany  troops  on  marches  or  transports,  except  by 
orders  from  the  War  Department,  or  in  particular  and  urgent  cases  by 
the  order  of  the  officer  directing  the  movement,  when  a  particular  state- 
ment of  the  circumstances  which  make  it  necessary  will  be  appended  to 
the  contract. 

1306.  And  when  a  private  physician  is  required  to  furnish  medicines, 
he  will  be  allowed,  besides  the  stipulated  pay,  from  25  to  50  per  cent,  on 
it,  to  be  determined  by  the  Surgeon-General. 

1307.  In  all  cases,  a  duplicate  of  the  contract  will  be  transmitted  forth- 
with by  the  commanding  officer  to  the  Surgeon-G-eneral,  and  the  com- 
manding officer  for  the  time  being  will  at  once  discontinue  it,  whenever 
the  necessity  for  it  ceases,  or  the  Surgeon-General  may  so  direct. 

1308.  The  physician's  account  of  pay  due  must  be  sent  to  the  Surgeon- 
General  for  payment,  vouched   by  the  certificate  of  the   commanding 
officer  that  it  is  correct  and  agreeable  to  contract,  and  that  the  services 
have  been  duly  rendered.     But  when  it  cannot  conveniently  be  submitted 
to  the  Surgeon-General  from  the  frontier  or  the  field,  it  may  be  paid  on 
the  order  of  the  commanding  officer,  not  to  exceed  the  regulated  amount, 
by  a  medical  disbursing  officer,  or  a  quartermaster. 

1309.  When  medical  attendance  is  required  by  officers  or  enlisted  men 
on   service,   or   for   the   authorized   servants  of  such  officers,  and   the 
attendance  of  a  medical  officer  cannot  be  had,  the  officer,  or,  if  there  be 
no  officer,  then  the  enlisted  man,  may  employ  a  private   physician,  and 
a  just  account  therefor  will  be  paid  by  the  medical  bureau. 

1310.  The  account  will  set  out  the  "name  of  the  patient,  the  date  of 
and  charge  for  each  visit  and  for  medicines.     The  physician  will  make 
a  certificate  to  the  account  in  case  of  an  officer,  or  affidavit  in  the  case  of 
an  enlisted  man,  that  the  account  is  correct,  and  the  charges  are  the 
customary  charges  of  the  place. 

1311.  The  officer  will  make  his   certificate,  or  the  enlisted  man  his 
affidavit,  to  the  correctness  of  the  account,  that  he  was  on  service  at  the 
place,  and  stating  the  circumstances  preventing  him  from  receiving  the 
services  of  a  medical  officer. 

1312.  When  the  charge  is  against  an  officer,  he  will  pay  the  account 
if  practicable,  and  transmit  it  to  the  medical  bureau  for  reimbursement ; 
in  all  other  cases  the  account  v  ill  be  transmitted  to  the  medical  bureau 
for  settlement. 


FOR    THE    ARMY.  315 

Medical  Department. 

1313.  If  the  charge  is  against  a  deceased  officer  or  enlisted  man,  the 
physician  will  make  the  affidavit,  before  required,  to  the  account,  and 
that  he  has  been  paid  no  part  of  it. 

1314.  No  charges  for  consultation  fees  will  be  paid  by  the   medical 
bureau,  nor  will  any  account  for  medical  attendance  or  medicines  be  paid, 
if  the  officer  or  enlisted  man  be  not  on  service. 

1315.  A  board  of  not  less  than  three  medical  officers  will  be  appointed 
from  time  to  time  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  to  examine  applicants  for 
appointment  of  assistant  surgeons,  and  assistant  surgeons  for  promotion. 
And  no  one  shall  be  so  appointed  or  promoted  until  so  examined  and 
found  qualified. 

1316.  The  board  will  scrutinize  rigidly  the  moral  habits,  professional 
acquirements,  and  physical  qualifications  of  the  candidates,  and  report 
favorably,  either  for  appointment  or  promotion,  in  no  case  admitting  of 
a  reasonable  doubt. 

1317.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  designate  the  applicants  to  be  examined 
for  appointment  of  assistant  surgeon.     They  must  be  between  21  and  28 
years  of  age.     The  board  will  report  their  respective  merits  in  the  several 
branches  of  the  examination,  and  their  relative  merit  from  the  whole; 
agreeably  whereto,  if  vacancies  happen  within  two  years  thereafter,  they 
will  receive  appointments  and  take  rank  in  the  medical  corps. 

1318.  When  an  assistant  surgeon  has  served  five  years,  he  is  subject 
to  be  examined  for  promotion.     If  he  decline  the  examination,  or  be 
found  not  qualified  by  moral  habits  or  professional  acquirements,  he  ceases 
to  be  a  medical  officer  of  the  army. 

1319.  An  applicant  for  appointment  failing  at  one  examination,  may  be 
allowed  a  second,  after  two  years ;  but  never  a  third. 

1320.  Medical  Cadets  will  be  selected,  from  among  the  applicants  who 
have  been  examined  and  approved  by  a  Medical  Board,  by  the  Surgeon- 
General,  who  will  assign  them  to  duty  at  such  places  and  in  such  num- 
bers as  the  service  may  require.     These  candidates  will  be  enlisted  for 
the  full  term,  by  the  Surgeon-General,  or  by  a  medical  officer  of  the  army 
authorized  by  him,  who  will  at  once  cause  to  be  administered  to  the  Cadet 
the  following  oath : 

I,  — — ,  appointed  a in  the  army  of  the  United  States,  do 

solemnly  swear,  or  affirm,  that  I  will  bear  true  allegiance  to  the  United 
States  of  America,  and  that  I  will  serve  them  honestly  and  faithfully 
against  all  their  enemies  or  opposers  whatsoever ;  and  observe  and  obey 
the  orders  of  the  President  of  the  United  States,  and  the  orders  of  the 
officers  appointed  over  me,  according  to  the  rules  and  articles  for  the 
government  of  the  armies  of  the  United  States.

Medical  Department, 

1321.  Medical  Cadets  will  have  the  rank  and  pay  of  the  Cadets  at  the 
Military  Academy,  and  be  under  the  direction  and  control  of  medical 
officers  alone.     They  will  be  entitled  each  to  one  room  as  quarters,  and 
fuel  therefor,  as  allowed  a  Sergeant-Major,  and  will  take  choice  next  after 
Brevet  Second  Lieutenants  in  the  selection  of  quarters.     Transportation 
will  be  allowed  them  as  in  cases  of  paymaster's  clerks. 

1322.  On  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  last  month  of  his  term  of  service, 
each  Medical  Cadet  will  report  the  fact  to  the  medical  officer  in  charge 
whose  duty  it  is  to  report  the  same  to  the  Surgeon-General,  together  with 
a  report  of  the  general  character  and  competency  of  the  Cadet. 

1323.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  appoint  from  the  enlisted  men  of  the 
army,  or  cause  to  be  enlisted,  as  many  competent  hospital  stewards  as  the 
service  may  require,  not  to  exceed  one  for  each  post. 

1324.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  a  hospital  requiring  a  steward  may 
recommend  a  competent  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  to  be  appointed, 
which  recommendation  the  commanding  officer  shall  forward  to  the  Ad- 
jutant-General of  the  army,  with  his  remarks  thereon,  and  with  the  re- 
marks of  the  company  commander.    And,  as  the  object  of  these  more  per- 
manent appointments  is  to  procure  the  services  of  a  more  competent 
body  of  hospital  stewards,  no  soldier,  nor  citizen,  must  henceforth  be 
recommended  for  appointment  who  is  not  known  to  be  temperate,  honest, 
and  in  every  way  reliable,  as  well  as  sufficiently  intelligent,  and  skilled  in 
pharmacy,  for  the  proper  discharge  of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to  be 
devolved  upon  him. 

1325.  When  no  competent  enlisted  man  can  be  procured,  the  medical 
officer  will  report  the  fact  to  the  Surgeon-General.*    Applications  and 
testimonials  of  competency,  from  persons  seeking  to  be  enlisted  for  hos- 
pital stewards,  may  be  addressed  to  the  Surgeon-General. 

1326.  The  commanding  officer  may  re-enlist  a  hospital  steward  at  the 
expiration  of  his  term  of  service,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medical 
officer. 

1327.  Hospital  stewards,  whenever  stationed  in  places  whence  no  post 
return  is  made  to  the  Adjutant-General's  office,  or  when  on  furlough, 
will,  at  the  end  of  every  month,  report  themselves  by  letter  to  the  Adju- 
tant-Gqneral  and  Surgeon-General,  as  well  as  to  the  medical  director  of 
the  military  department  in  which  they  may  be  serving ;  to  each  of  whom 

*  The  current  wants  of  the  service  may,  however,  be  supplied  by  a  detail  from  the  com- 
mand, on  the  recommendation  of  the  medical  officer,  of  a  soldier  to  act  as  temporary 
steward,  thus  affording  the  means  of  a  careful  probation  of  all  soldiers  so  detailed,  whc 
are  ambitious  of  one  day  deserving  a  permanent  appointment.  Stewards  thus  detailed  at 
posts,  or  with  a  body  of  troops  of  more  than  four  companies,  will  receive  the  pay  and 
allowances  of  a  sergeant  of  ordnance ;  and  at  all  other  posts,  or  with  smaller  bodies  of 
troops,  the  pay  and  allowances  of  a  sergeant  of  infantry.  (See  Act  July  5, 1838,  seo.  12.)

they  will  also  report  each  new  assignment  to  duty,  or  change  of  station, 
ordered  in  their  case,  noting  carefully  the  number,  date,  and  source  of 
the  order  directing  the  same.  They  will  likewise  report  monthly,  when 
on  furlough,  to  the  medical  officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  which 
they  are  attached. 

1328.  The  accounts  of  pay,  clothing,  &c.,  of  hospital  stewards  must 
be  kept  by  the  medical  officers  under  whose  immediate  direction  they  are 
serving,  who  are,  also,  responsible  for  certified  statements  of  such  accounts, 
and  correct  descriptive  lists  of  such  stewards,  to  accompany  them  in  case 
of  transfer — as,  also,  that  their  final  statements  and  certificates  of  dis- 
charge are  accurately  made  out,  when  they  are,  at  length,  discharged  from 
service.

REMARKS. 


This  register  is  to  be  mailed  to  the  Surgeon-General  monthly  without  a  letter 
of  transmittal.  All  fractions  are  to  be  expressed  in  decimals  carried  out  two 
points.  The  thermometer  and  hygrometer,  if  not  connected,  will  be  suspended 
side  by  side.  One-third  of  the  sum  of  the  three  daily  observations  will  be  regis- 
tered as  the  daily  mean.  The  direction  (D.)  and  force  (F.)  of  the  winds  will  be 
expressed  in  accordance  with  existing  regulations.  The  whole  number  of  times 
any  point  of  the  compass  is  recorded  during  the  month  gives  the  "number  of 
observations ;"  and  that  number  divided  by  3  gives  the  number  of  days  from  that 
point.  The  results  thus  obtained  are  to  be  recorded  under  "  Summary  of  winds 
and  weather."  Observations  on  the  weather  will  be  recorded  as  FAIR  cr  CLOUDY  ; 
and  the  number  of  fair  and  cloudy  days  during  the  month  will  be  ascertained 
by  dividing  the  sum  total  of  each  record  by  8.  The  number  of  days  on  which  it 
rains  cr  snows  will  be  noted  separately.

paymaster  may  report  the  fact  to  the  commander  of  the  company  in 
which  the  soldier  is  mustered,  who  will   note  on  the  muster-rolls  the 
amount  to  be  stopped  from  the  pay  of  the  soldier,  that  it  may  be  re-

service  in  the  war  with  Mexico,  and  not  promoted,  receive  two  dollars  a 
month  additional  pay,  while  in  service  as  non-commissioned  officers.  (Act 
August  4,  1854.) 

1367.  The  muster-rolls  are  to  embrace  all  the  data  necessary  to  insure 
justice  to  the  soldier,  and  to  guide  the  paymaster  in  making  his  pay- 
ments.    Thus,  when  a  man  is  entitled  to  the  benefits  of  the  2d  section 
of  the  Act  of  August  4,  1854,  the  following  remark  should  be  placed 
opposite  his  name  :  "  $2  pr.  mo.  for  1st  re-enlistment."     If  he  be  entitled 
to  $1  additional  for  re-enlisting  subsequent  to  its  date,  the  remark  will 
then  be,  "$3  pr.  mo.  for  2d  re-enlistment;"  for  a  third  re-enlistment, 
u  $4  pr.  mo.  for  3d  re-enlistment/'  &c.     For  soldiers  coming  under  the 
provisions  of  the  3d  and  4th  sections  of  the  act,  note  as  follows :  "  $2  pr. 
mo.  for  cert,  merit ;"  "  $2  pr.  mo.  for  1st  re-enlistment,  $2  for  cert,  merit," 
&c.,  according  to  the  facts  of  the  case 

1368.  The  retained  pay  is  due  to  a  discharged  soldier  unless  forfeited 
by  sentence  of  a  court-martial,  or  as  provided  in  paragraph  1340. 

1369.  The  traveling  pay  is  due  to  a  discharged  officer  or  soldier  unless 
forfeited  by  sentence  of  a  court-martial,  or  as  provided  in  paragraph 
1340,  or  the  discharge  is  by  way  of  punishment  for  an  offense. 

1370.  In  reckoning  the  traveling  allowance  to  discharged  officers  or 
soldiers,  the  distance  is  to  be  estimated  by  the  shortest  mail  route ;  if 
there  is  no  mail  route,  by  the  shortest  practicable  route.     Rations  of 
soldiers,  if  not  drawn  in  kind,  are  estimated  at  the  contract  price  at  the 
place  of  discharge.     The  price  of  the  ration  shall  be  stated  on  the  certi- 
ficate. 

1371.  Every  enlisted  man  discharged  as  a  minor,  or  for  other  cause 
involving  fraud  on  his  part  in  the  enlistment,  or  discharged  by  the  civil 
authority,  shall  forfeit  all  pay  and  allowances  due  at  the  time  of  the  dis- 
charge, and  shall  not  receive  any  final  statements. 

1372.  Paymasters  or  other  officers  to  whom  a  discharged  soldier  may 
apply,  shall  transmit  to  the  Paymaster-General,  with  their  remarks,  any 
evidence  the  soldier  may  furnish  relating  to  his  not  having  received  or 
having  lost  his   certificates  of  pay  due.     The   Paymaster-General  will 
transmit  the  evidence  to  the  Second  Comptroller  for  the  settlement  of 
the  account. 

1373.  No  paymaster  or  other  officer  shall  be  interested  in  the  purchase 
of  any  soldier's  certificate  of  pay  due,  or  other  claim  against  the  United 
States. 

1374.  The  Paymaster-General  will  report  to  the  Adjutant-General  any 
case  of  neglect  of  company  officers  to  furnish  the  proper  certificates  to 

oldiers  entitled  to  discharge. 

1375.  Whenever  the  garrison  is  withdrawn  from  any  post  at  which  a

Fay  Department. 

chaplain  is  authorized  to  be  employed,  his  pay  and  emoluments  shall  cease 
on  the  last  day  of  the  month  next  ensuing  after  the  withdrawal  of  the 
troops.  The  Paymaster-General  will  be  duly  informed  from  the  Adju- 
tant-General's office  whenever  the  appointment  and  pay  of  the  post 
chaplain  will  cease  under  this  regulation. 

1376.  Funds  turned  over  to  other  paymasters,  or  refunded  to  the  Trea- 
sury, are  to  be  entered  in  accounts  current,  but  not  in  the  abstracts  of 
payments. 

1377.  Whenever  money  is  refunded  to  the  Treasury,  the  name  of  tho 
person  refunding,  and  the  purpose  for  which  it  is  done,  should  be  state\l, 
in  order  that  the  officers  of  that  Department  may  give  the  proper  credits. 

1378.  When  an  officer  of  the  army  receives  a  temporary  appointment 
from  the  proper  authority  to  a  grade  in  the  militia  then  in  actual  service 
of  the  United  States  higher  in  rank  than  that  held  by  him  in  the  army, 
he  shall  be  entitled  to  the  pay  and  emoluments  of  the  grade  in  which  he 
serves.     But  in  no  case  can  an  officer  receive  the  compensation  of  two 
military  commissions  or  appointments  at  the  same  time. 

1379.  Whenever  the  Paymaster-General  shall  discover  that  an  officer 
has  drawn  pay  twice  for  the  same  time,  he  shall  report  it  to  the  Adjutant 

^General. 

1380.  The  Paymaster-General  shall  transmit  to  the  Second  Auditor, 
in  the  month  of  May,  a  statement  exhibiting  the  total  amount  during 
the  year  up  to  the  31st  December  preceding,  of  stoppages  against  officers 

_  and  soldiers  on  account  of  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  that  the  amount 
may  be  refunded  to  the  proper  appropriations.  These  stoppages  will  be 
regulated  by  the  tables  of  cost  published  by  the  chief  of  the  Ordnance 
Department,  and  shall  have  precedence  of  all  other  claims  on  the  pay  of 
officers  or  soldiers. 

1381.  The  following  returns  are  to  be  transmitted  to  the  Paymaster 
General  after  each  payment : 

1st.  Estimate  for  succeeding  months  (Form  1). 

2d.    Abstracts  of  payments  (Form  6),  accompanied  by  the  vouchers 

3d.   General  account  current  (Form  7). 

4th.  Monthly  statement  of  funds,  disbursements,  &c.  (Form  9). 

1382.  The  accounts  and  vouchers  for  the  expenditures  to  the  regular 
army  must  be  kept  separate  and  distinct  from  those  to  volunteers  and 
militia. 

1383.  Pay-roll  of  militia  will  be  according  to  Form  8,  the  certificate 
at  the  foot  to  be  signed  by  all  the  company  officers  present. 

1384.  No  militia  or  volunteers  shall  be  paid  till  regularly  mustered 
into  service,  as  provided  in  the  General  Regulations.*

356  REVISED   REGULATIONS 

Pay  Department. 

1385.  In  order  to  afford  enlisted  men  of  the  army  a  secure  deposit  for 
the  amounts  from  their  pay,  and  to  relieve  the  muster  and  pay  rolls  from 
accumulated  credits  of  pay,  the  following  provisions  are  made  : 

1.  All  enlisted  men  present  with  their  companies  or  detachments  at 
the  time  of  payment  shall  hereafter  sign  the  receipt  for  their 
monthly  pay. 

2.  Soldiers  may  deposit  with  the  paymaster  any  portion  of  their 
pay,  not  less  than  $5  at  one  time,  provided  that  no  amount  so 
deposited  shall  be  withdrawn  until  the  expiration  of  the  soldier's 
enlistment. 

8.  At  the  time  of  first  deposit,  a  check-book  will  be  given  to  the 
soldier,  and  a  certificate  of  every  deposit  made,  signed  by  the 
paymaster  and  company  commander,  shall  be  entered  therein  at 
the  time  of  making  the  same. 

4.  The  company  commander  shall  keep  an  account  of  every  deposit 
made  by  a  soldier  on  the  company  book,  and  shall  transmit  to  the 
Paymaster-General,  after  each  payment,  a  list  of  the  depositors 
and  the  amounts  deposited  by  them  respectively. 

5.  In  case  of  the  transfer  of  a  soldier,  his  descriptive  roll  shall 
exhibit  the  several  amounts  deposited  by  him. 

6.  On  the  discharge  of  a  soldier,  the  amount  of  his  deposits  shall  be 
entered  on  his  final  statements,  and  paid  on  settlement  of  the 


7.  On  the  death  of  a  soldier,  his  deposits  shall  be  accounted  for  in 
the  inventory  of  his  effects  and  on  the  accompanying  final  state- 
ments. 

8.  The  money  deposited  by  any  soldier  shall  not  be  liable  to  forfeit- 
ure by  sentence  of  court-martial. 

9.  Paymasters  will   receive  the   deposits  of  the   soldiers  in  their 
respective  districts,  credit  the  same  in  their  accounts  current,  and 
furnish  a  list  of  the  depositors,  with  the  several  sums  deposited 
by  each,  to  accompany  their  accounts  and  vouchers  of  disburse- 
ments.    The  sums  thus  received  by  the  paymasters  may  be  again 
used  by  them  in  the  payment  of  troops. 

10.  The  Paymaster-General  shall  keep  in  his  office  such  record  as 
may  be  necessary  to  show  the  deposits  made  by  the  enlisted  men 
of  each  company. 

1386.  Paymasters  will  afford  Sutlers  every  facility  in  the  collection  of 
the  amounts  due  them  in  accordance  with  regulations  217  and  218. 

1387.  Officers  absent  from  their   appropriate  duties,  either  with  or 
without  leave,  for  six  months,  will  thereby  forfeit  all  the  emoluments  and 
allowances  to  which  thev  would  otherwise  be  entitled.

fect articles  that  are  deficient.  The  injury  or  destruction  of  the  minor

for  condemning  it,  but,  on  the  contrary,  the  necessary  repairs  will  be 
made  in  the  company  by  means  of  extra- duty  men,  or  artificers,  or  at  the

ARTICLE  LIL 

VOLUNTEERS  AND  MILITIA  IN  THE  SERVICE  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

1664.  Whenever  volunteer  or  drafted  militia  are  called  into  the  service 
of  the  United  States,  by  any  officer  authorized  to  make  such  call,  the 
requisition  must  be  made  on  the  Governor  of  the  State  or  Territory  in 
which  the  militia  are  to  be  raised,  and  the  number  of  officers,  non-com- 
missioned officers,  and  privates  will  be  stated  in  the  requisition,  accord- 
ing to  the  organization  prescribed  by  the  law  of  the  United  States. 

1665.  Before  militia  ?re  received  in  the  service  of  the  United  States, 
they  shall  be  mustered  by  an  Inspector-General,  or  some  other  officer  of 
the  regular  army,  specially  designated  to  muster  them. 

1666.  When  volunteers  are  to  be  mustered  into  the  service  of  the 
United  States,  they  will,  at  the  same  time,  be  minutely  examined  by  the 
surgeon  and   assistant   surgeon  of  the   regiment,  to   ascertain  whether 
they  have  the  physical  qualifications  necessary  for  the  military  service. 
And  in  case  any  individual  shall  be  discharged  within  three  months  after 
entering  the  service,  for  a  disability  which  existed  at  that  time,  he  shall 
receive  neither  pay  nor  allowances  except  subsistence  and  transportation 
to  his  home.     The  certificate  given  by  the   surgeon  will,  in  all  cases, 
state  whether  the  disability  existed  prior  to  the  date  of  muster,  or  was 
contracted  after  it. 


482  REVISED   REGULATIONS 


Volunteers  and  Militia. 


1667.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  officer  designated  to  muster  and 
inspect  militia,  to  forward  muster-rolls  of  each  company,  and  of  the  field 
and  staff  of  each  regiment,  direct  to  the  Adjutant-General  of  the  Army, 
Washington;  and  he  will  also  immediately  forward  a  consolidated  return, 
by  regiments  and   corps,  of  the  force  received  into  service,  for  the  in 
formation  of  the  War  Department. 

1668.  Mustering  in. — Reference  will  be  made  to  the  particular  act  01 
acts  of  Congress  under  which  the  militia  are  called  into  service.     If  there 
be  no  such  act,  then  to  the  act  May  8,  1792,  amended  by  the  acts  April 
18,  1814,  and  April  20,  1816.     Mustering  officers  will  not  muster  into 
service  a  greater  number  of  officers,  or  of  higher  rank,  than  the  law  pre- 
scribes.    No  officers  of  the  general  staff  will  be  mustered  or  received  into 
service,  except  such  general  officers,  with  their  aides-de-camp,  as  may  be 
required  to  complete  the  organization  of  brigades  or  divisions. 

1669.  Mustering  out. — The  rolls  for  this  purpose  will  be  compared  with 
those  of  the  first  muster.     All  persons  on  the  first  rolls,  and  absent  at 
the  final  muster,  must  be  accounted  for — whether  dead,  captured,  dis- 
charged, or  otherwise  absent;  and  if  the  mustering  officer,  in  any  par- 
ticular case,  shall  have  cause  to  doubt  the  report  made  to  be  entered  on 
the  rolls,  he  shall  demand  the  oath  of  one  or  more  persons  to  prove  the 
fact  to  his  satisfaction ;  further,  he  shall  take  care  that  not  more  persons 
of  the  several  ranks  be  mustered  out  of  service  than  were  mustered  in, 
if  there  be  an  excess  over  the  requisition  or  beyond  the  law,  nor  recognize 
additions  or  substitutes,  without  full  satisfaction  that  the  additions  or  sub- 
stitutions were  regularly  made,  and  at  the  time  reported  on  the  rolls. 

1670.  Officers  mustering  in  troops  will  be  careful  that  men  from  one 
company  or  detachment  are  not  borrowed  for  the  occasion,  to  swell  the 
ranks  of  others  about  to  be  mustered.     No  volunteer  will  be  mustered 
into  the  service  who  is  unable  to  speak  the  English  language. 

1671.  Officers  charged  with  the  duty  of  mustering  militia  will  take 
care  that  the  muster-rolls  contain  all  the  information  that  may  in  any 
way  affect  their  pay;  the  distance  from  the  places  of  residence  to  the  place 
of  rendezvous  or  organization,  and  the  date  of  arrival,  must  be  stated  in  each 
case ;  the  date  and  place  of  discharge,  and  the  distance  thence  to  the  place 
of  residence;  all  stoppages  for  articles  furnished  by  the  Government  must 
be  noted  on  the  rolls;  and  in  cases  of  absence  at  the  time  of  discharge  of 
the  company,  the  cause  of  absence  must  be  stated.     When  the  necessary 
information  cannot  be  obtained^  the  mustering  officer  will  state  the  reason. 

1672.  If,  as  has  sometimes  happened,  militia,  at  the  end  of  a  term  of 
service,  shall,  from  the  want  of  a  mustering  officer,  disperse  or  return 
home  without  being  regularly  mustered  out;  and  if,  with  a  view  to  a  pay- 
ment, a  muster  shall  afterward  be  ordered  by  competent  authority,  the 


FOR    THE    ARMY.  483

officer  sent  for  the  purpose  shall  carefully  verify  all  the  facts  affecting 
pay,  by  the  oath  of  one  or  more  of  the  officers  belonging  to  such  militia, 
in  order  that  full  justice  may  be  done. 

1673.  Jn  all  cases  of  muster  for  payment,  whether  final  or  otherwise, 
the  mustering  officer  will  give  his  particular  attention  to  the  state  and 
condition  of  the  public  property :  such  as  quarters,  camp-equipage,  means 
of  transportation,  arms,  accoutrements,  ammunition,  &c.,  which  have  been 
in  the  use  or  possession  of  the  militia  to  be  paid;  and  if  any  such  public 
property  shall  appear  to  be  damaged,  or  lost,  beyond  ordinary  wear  or  un- 
avoidable accident,  such  loss  or  damage  shall  be  noted  on  the  muster-rolls, 
in  order  that  the  injury  or  loss  sustained  by  the  United  States  may  be 
stopped  from  the  pay  that  would  otherwise  be  due  to  the  individual  or 
detachment  mustered  for  payment.     See  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  De- 
partment. This  provision  shall  be  read  to  all  detachments  of  militia  on  being 
mustered  into  service,  and  as  much  oftener  as  may  be  deemed  necessary. 

1674.  Payments  will,  in  all  cases,  be  made  by  the  paymasters  of  the 
regular  army. 

1675.  Officers  of  the  volunteer  service  tendering  their  resignations, 
will  forward  them  through  the  intermediate  commanders  to  the  officer 
commanding  the  department  or  corps    Varmee   in  which  they  may  be 
serving,  who  is  authorized  to  grant  them  honorable  discharges.     This 
commander  will  immediately  report  his  action  to  the  Adjutant-General 
of  the  Army,  who  will  communicate  the  same  to  the  Governor  of  the 
State  to  which  the  officer  belongs.     A  clear  statement  of  the  cause  will 
accompany  every  resignation. 

1676.  Vacancies  occurring  among  the  commissioned  officers  in  volun- 
teer regiments  will  be  filled  by  the  Governors  of  the  respective  States  by 
which  the  regiments  were  furnished.     Information  of  such  appointments 
will,  in  all  cases,  be  furnished  to  the  Adjutant-General  of  the  Army.

trying  offenders  belonging  to  either ;  and,  in  such  cases,  the  orders  of  the

made  his  plea,  as  to  object  to  any  leading  question  to  any  of  the  witnesses 
or  any  question  to  the  prisoner,  the  answer  to  which  might  tend  to  crimi- 
nate himself;  and  administer  to  each  member  of  the  court,  before  they

"You,  A.  B.,  do  swear  that  you  will  well  and  truly  try  and  determine, 
according  to  evidence,  the  matter  now  before  you,  between  the  United 
States  of  America  and  the  prisoner  to  be  tried,  and  that  you  will  duly  ad- 
minister justice,  according  to  the  provisions  of  '  An  act  establishing  Rules 
and  Articles  for  the  government  of  the  armies  of  the  United  States/  without 
partiality,  favor,  or  affection ;  and  if  any  doubt  should  arise,  not  explained 
by  said  Articles,  according  to  your  conscience,  the  best  of  your  under- 
standing, and  the  custom  of  war  in  like  cases;  and  you  do  further  sweai 
that  you  will  not  divulge  the  sentence  of  the  court  until  it  shall  be  pub- 
lished by  the  proper  authority ;  neither  will  you  disclose  or  discover  the

quired to  give  evidence  thereof,  as  a  witness,  by  a  court  of  justice,  in 
a  due  course  of  law.  So  help  you  God." 

And  as  soon  as  the  said  oath  shall  have  been  administered  to  the

of  law;  nor  divulge  the  sentence  of  the  court  to  any  but  the  proper  author-

ehall,  from  obstinacy  and  deliberate  design,  stand  mute,  or  answer  foreign

prisoner  had  regularly  pleaded  not  guilty. 

ART.  71.  When  a  member  shall  be  challenged  by  a  prisoner,  he  must 
state  his  cause  of  challenge,  of  which  the  court  shall,  after  due  delibera- 
tion, determine  the  relevancy  or  validity,  and  decide  accordingly ;  and  no 
challenge  to  more  than  one  member  at  a  time  shall  be  received  by  the  court

deposition  of  witnesses,  not  in  the  line  or  staff  of  the  army,  may  be  taken 
before  some  justice  of  the  peace,  and  read  in  evidence;  provided  the  pro- 
secutor and  person  accused  are  present  at  the  taking  the  same,  or  are  duly 
notified  thereof. 

ART.  75.  No  officer  shall  be  tried  but  by  a  general  court-martial,  nor 
by  officers  of  an  inferior  rank,  if  it  can  be  avoided.  'Nor  shall  any  pro- 
ceedings of  trials  be  carried  on,  excepting  between  the  hours  of  eight  in 
the  morning  and  three  in  the  afternoon,  excepting  in  cases  which,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  officer  appointing  the  court-martial,  require  immediate 
example. 

ART.  76.  No  person  whatsoever  shall  use  any  menacing  words,  signs, 
or  gestures,  in  presence  of  a  court-martial,  or  shall  cause  any  disorder  or

witnesses  as  a  court-martial,  and  to  examine  them  on  oath.  But  they 
shall  not  give  their  opinion  on  the  merits  of  the  case,  excepting  they 
shall  be  thereto  specially  required.  The  parties  accused  shall  also  be

of  an  officer,  provided  that  the  circumstances  are  such  that  oral  testimony 
cannot  be  obtained.  But  as  courts  of  inquiry  may  be  perverted  to  dis- 
honorable purposes,  and  may  be  considered  as  engines  of  destruction  to 
military  merit,  in  the  hands  of  weak  and  envious  commandants,  they  are 
hereby  prohibited,  unless  directed  by  the  President  of  the  United  States, 
or  demanded  by  the  accused.

APPENDIX    B, 

CONTAINING 

CHANGES  AND  ADDITIONS  TO  ARMY  REGULATIONS, 

UP   TO    JUNE    25,    1863. 


GENERAL    REGULATIONS. 

1.  All  correspondence  and  communication,  verbally  or  by  writing,  printing,  or 
telegraphing,  respecting  operations  of  the  army  or  military  movements  on  land  or 
water,    or   respecting   the   troops,  camps,  arsenals,    intrenchments,  or  military 
affairs,  within  the  several  military  districts,  by  which  intelligence  shall  be,  directly 
or  indirectly,  given  to  the  enemy,  without  the   authority  and  sanction  of  the 
General  in  command,  be  and  the  same  are  absolutely  prohibited,  and  persons 
violating  this  Regulation  will  be  proceeded  against  under  the  57th  Article  of  War. 

2.  Paragraph   1292  having  been  inadvertently  introduced  into  the  Revised 
Regulations  of  the  Army,  is  hereby  revoked  ;  and  paragraph  895,  with  which  it 
was  in  partial  conflict,  will  wholly  supersede  it. 

3.  When  certificates  of  disability,  in  the  case  of  a  volunteer,  are  forwarded  to 
the  Commander  having  authority  to  grant  his  discharge,  they  will  be  accom- 
panied by  the    blank    referred  to  in  paragraph   165,  Revised  Regulations,  on 
which  the  discharge  from  service  is  finally  made.     And  the  said  Commander  will 
Indorse  thereon  the  same  orders  that  he  gives  upon  the  certificate  of  disability. 
By  this  means  the  discharge,  when  complete,  will  carry  with  it  the  evidence  of 
its  authenticity,  and  the  necessity  for  investigation  on  the  part  of  the  Pay  De- 
partment will  be  removed. 

4.  When  soldiers  are  discharged  within  two  years  from  the  date  of  enlistment 
by  reason  of  wounds  received  in  battle,  the  medical  officer  granting  the  certifi- 
cate of  disability  will  endorse  such  fact  upon  both  the  final  statements  and  the 
discharge. 

5.  The  insane  of  the  military  service  are  entitled  to  treatment  in  the  Govern- 
ment Hospital  established  in  Washington.   To  protect,  however,  their  own  interests, 
as  well  as  those  of  the  Government,  it  is  prescribed  by  the  Secretary  of  War  ;  that 
to  procure  admission  into  the  Hospital,  application  must  be  made  to  the  Adjutant 
General,  setting  forth  the  name,  rank,  company,  and  regiment  of  the  patient, 
with  a  certificate  from  the  surgeon  of  the  regiment  as  to  the  duration  of  the 
insanity,  and  whether  insane  before  enlistment.     It  will  likewise  be  accompanied 
by  the  descriptive  list  of  the  soldier,  containing  his  pay  and   clothing  accounts. 
The  application  should  precede  the  arrival  of  the  soldier  in  Washington  by  at  least 
one  day. 

6.  On  the  departure  of  the  patient  from  his  station,  the  Commanding  Officer 
will  give  such  orders  to  the  person  in  charge  as  will  provide  for  the  transporta- 
tion of  the  necessary  attendants,  to  the  institution  and  back  again  to  their  post, 
and  for  their  subsistence,  either  in  kind,  or  by  commutation,  during  their  absence. 

7.  To  procure  the  release  of  a  patient,  when  cured,  or  for  delivery  to  his 
friends,  application  must  again  be  made  to  the  Adjutant  General,  who  will  pro- 
cure the  necessary  authorization,  and  also  cause  a  statement  of  his  accounts  to  be 
made  and  delivered  to  him 

8.  Guidons  and  camp  colors  for  the  army  will  be  made  like  the  United  States 
flag,  with  stars  and  stripes.

General  Begulations. 


9.  Paragraph  211,  Kevised  General  Regulations,  is  modified  to  read  as  follows: 
Every  military  post  may  have  one  Sutler,  to  be  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of 
War  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Council  of  Administration,  approved  by  the 
Commanding  Officer. 

10.  Chapel  tents,  when  purchased  by  Regiments,  will  be  transported  by  public 
conveyance  in  the  same  manner  as  tents  furnished  for  the  use  of  the  soldiers  by 
the  Government.     Shelter  tents  only  are  allowed  to  company  officers  and  men, 
and  are  transported  in  the  latter  case  by  the  men  themselves. 

11.  There  shall.be  inscribed  upon  the  colors  or  guidons  of  all  regiments  and 
batteries  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  the  names  of  the  battles  in  whith 
they  have  borne  a   meritorious  part.     These  names  will  also  be  placed  on  the 
Army  Register  at  the  head  of  the  list  of  the  officers  of  each  regiment. 

12.  The  following*addition  is  made  to  paragraph  9,  page  10,  Revised  Regula- 
tions for  the  Army  :  Except  commissions  issued  by  the  President  to  officers  of 
Volunteer  Regiments,   which  will  be  considered  the  same  as  if  issued  by  the 
governors  of  States. 

13.  All  property  captured  by  the  Army,  or  seized  by  any  Provost  Marshal,  or 
taken  up  estray,  or  taken  from  soldiers  marching  in  the  enemy's  coun'ry,  will  be 
turned  over  to  the  Chiefs  of  the  Staff  Departments  to  which  such  property  would 
appertain,  on  duty  with  the  troops,  and  will  be  accounted  for  by  them  as  captured 
property,  and  used  for  the  public  service,  unless  claimed  by  owners  and  ordered 
by  the  commanding  officer  to  be  returned.     In  such  case,  the  receipts  of  the 
owners  to  whom   the  property  is  delivered   will   be   taken  therefftr.     Provost 
Marshals  will  make  returns  to  the  Adjutant  General  of  all  such  property  and  of 
the  disposition  made  of  it,  accounting  on  separate  returns  for  ordnance,  quarter- 
master, subsist  nee,  medical  stores,  &c.,  furnishing  and  procuring  the  usual  in- 
voices and  receipts,  and  charging  the  officers  to  whom  the  property  has  been 
delivered,  with  the  same,  on  the  returns. 

14.  In  time  of  war  leaves  of  absence  will  only  be  granted  by  the  Secretary  of  War, 
except  when  the  certificate  of  a  medical  officer  shall  show,  beyond  doubt,  that  a 
change  of  location  "  is  necessary  to  save  life,  or  prevent  permanent  disability." — 
(Paragraph  186,  General  Regulations.}     In  such  case  the  Commander  of  an  Army,  a 
Department,  or  District,  may  grant  not  exceeding  twenty  days.     At  the  expira- 
tion of  that  time,  if  the  officer  be  not  able  to  travel,  he  must  send  a  report  to  the 
Adjutant  General  of  the  Army,  accompanied  by  the  certificate  of  a  medical  officer 
of  the  army,  in  the  usual  form,  and  that  he  is  not  able  to  travel.     If  it  be  not 
practicable  to  procure  such  a  certificate,  in  consequence  of  there  being  no  army 
physician  in  the  place  where  the  officer  resides,  the  certificate  of  a  citizen  phy- 
sician, attested  by  a  civil  magistrate,  may  be  substituted. 

15.  Whenever  soldiers  are  discharged  while  absent  from  their  companies,  the 
officers  granting  the  discharge  will  furnish  them  with  final  statements  for  pay,  and  certifi- 
cates of  discharge,  and  take  up  their  descriptive  lists.     The  same  officers,  including 
Medical  Inspectors,  will,  in  all  cases,  notify  the  Adjutant  General  and  the  commanding 
officer  of  the  company  to  which  the  soldier  belongs,  of  the  date,  place,  and  came  of 
such  dis  harge.     Certificates  of  disability  are  never  to  be  given  into  the  hands  of 
the  soldier,  but  are  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  General,  after  being  com- 
pleted.— (See  paragraphs  167  and  168,  General  Regulations.) 

16.  The  act  of  February  13,  1862,  section  2,  although  prohibiting  the  discharge 
of  manors  from  the  service,  does  not  authorize  their  enlistment  or  muster  into 
service,  except  with  the  written  consent  of  their  parents,  masters,  or  guardians. 
Such  consent  must  be  taken  in  triplicate,  and  filed  with  triplicate  copies  of  the 
muster-in  rolls. 

17.  Officers   detached  from  their  regiments  for  Signal  duty  will   report   im- 
mediately for  orders  to  the  Signal  Officer  of  the  Army  ;  after  which  they  will  not 
be  relieved  from  such  duty,  except  by  orders  from  the  Adjutant  General  of  the 
Army. 


512  REVISED    REGULATIONS 

General  Regulations. 

18.  All   contracts,  which  by  the   present  regulations  are   prescribed   to  be 
made  iu  writing,  shall  hereafter  be  made  in  quintuplicate,  of  which  four  shall  be 
disposed  of  according  to  such  regulations,  and  one  sball  be  sent  by  the  officer 
making  and  signing  the  same  to  the  Keturns  Office  of  the  Department  of  the  In- 
terior, within  thirty  days  after  the  contract  is  made,  together  with  all  proposals, 
and  a  copy  of  any  advertisement  published  by  him  touching  the  same,  attached 
and  verified  in  the  manner  required  by  the  act  approved  June  2,  1862. 

19.  When  an  officer  returns  to  his  command  after  having  overstaid  his  leave  of 
absence,  he  may  be  tried  by  a  court-martial  for  this  as  a  military  offence,  or  a 
commission  may  be  appointed  by  the  commanding  officer  of  his  divibion,  army 
corps,  or  army,  as  the  case  may  be,  to  investigate  his  case,  and  to  determine 
whether  or  not  he  was  absent  from  proper  cause  ;  and  if  there  should  be  found  to 
be  such  proper  cause,  he  will  be  entitled  to  pay  during  such  .absence.     The  pro- 
ceedings of  such  commission  will  be  sent  to  the  Adjutant  General  of  the  Army 
for  the  approval  of  the  Secretary  of  War.     Such  commissions  will  consist  of  not 
less  than  three  nor  over  five  commissioned  officers. 

20.  Where  officers  are  not  serving  in  a  division,  army  corps,  or  separate  army, 
applications  for  leaves  may  be  made  to  the  Adjutant  Genenl  of  the  Army  ;  but. 
except  in  very  extraordinary  cases,  no  leave  of  absence  will  be  graute'l  unless  the 
application  be  accompanied  by  a  certificate  of  the  same  character  as  that  pi  escribed 
in  paragraph  14. 

21.  The  laws  of  the  United  States  and  the  general  laws  of  war  authorize,  in 
certain  ca^es^the  seizure  and  conversion  of  private  property  for  the  subsistence, 
transportation,  and  other  uses  of  the  army;  but  this  must  be  distinguished  from 
pillage;  and  the  taking  of  property  for  public  purposes  is  very  different  from  its 
conversion  to  private  uses.     All  property  lawfully  taken  from  the  enemy,  or  from 
the  inhabitants  of  an  enemy's  country,  instantly  becomes  pu^Lc  property,  and 
must  be  used  and  accounted  for  as  such.     The  52d  Article  of  War  authorizes  the 
penalty  of  death  for  pillage  or  plundering,  and  other  aricles  authorize  severe 
punishments  for  any  officer  or  soldier  who  shall  sell,  embezzle,  misapply,  or  waste 
military  stores,  or  who  shall  permit  the  waste  or  misapplication  of  any  such  public 
property      The  penalty  is  the  same  whether  the  offence  be  committed  in  our  own 
or  in  an  enemy's  territory. 

22.  All  property,  public  or  private,  taken  from  alleged  enemies,  must  be  inven- 
toried and  duly  accounted  for.     If  the  property  taken  be  claimed  as  private, 
receipts  must  be  given  to  such  claimants  or  their  agents.     Officers  will  be  held 
strictly  responsible  for  all  property  taken  by  them  or  by  their  authority,  and  it 
must  be  accounted  for,  the  same  as  any  other  public  property. 

23.  Where  foraging  parties  are  sent  out  for  provisions  or  other  stores,  the  com- 
manding officer  of  such  party  will  be  held  accountable  for  the  conduct  of  his 
command,  and  will  make  a  true  report  of  all  property  taken. 

24  No  officer  or  soldier  will,  without  authority,  leave  his  colors  or  ranks,  to 
take  private  property,  or  to  enter  a  private  house  for  that  purpose.  All  sucti  acts 
are  punishable  with  death,  and  an  officer  who  permits  them  is  equally  as  guilty 
as  the  actual  pillager. 

25.  When  forage  in  kind  cannot  be  furnished  by  the  proper  department,  officers 
entitled  to  forage  may  commute  it  for  the  number  of  horses  specified  in  section  2 
of  the  act  approved  July  17,  1862,  upon  the  certificate  of  the  quartermaster,  when 
there  is  one,  or  of  the  commanding  officer,  when  there  is  no  quartermaster,  that 
forage  in  kind  cannot  be  furnished.     When  the  officer  is  on  detached  duty,  his 
own  certificate  to  the  fact,  with  the  additional  statement  that  there  is  no  command- 
ing officer  or  quartermaster  serving  with  him,  will  entitle  him  to  the  commutation. 

26.  Officers  on  leave  of  absence  are  not  entitled  to  forage,  or  to  commutation 
Jierefor. 

27.  Officers  of  the  Army  and  of  Volunteers  detailed  for  duty  in  the  Engineers  or 
other  branches  of  the  staff,  are  not,  as  a  matter  of  course,  entitled  to  "the  pay,

emoluments,  and  allowances  of  cavalry  officers.  But,  when  ordered  by  the  proper 
authority  to  be  mounted,  and  when  so  mounted  at  their  own  expense,  they  are 
entitled  to  such  pay,  emoluments,  and  allowances. 

28.  No  officer  will  hereafter  be  relieved  from  his  command  and  sent  to  report  in 
Washington  without  the  authority  of  the  War  Department.     Where  subordinate 
officers  are  guilty  of  military  offences,  or  are  negligent,  or  incompetent,  it  is  the 
duty  of  the  Commander  to  have  them  tried  for  their  offences,  or  examined  in 
regard  to  their  iucompetency,  by  a  proper  court  or  commission;  and  this  duty 
cannot  be  evaded  by  sending  them  to  Washington. 

29.  In  settling  the  accounts  of  the  commanding  officer  of  a  company  for  cloth- 
ing and  other  military  supplies,  the  affidavit  of  any  such  officer  may  be  received 
to  show  the  loss  of  vouchers,  or  company  books,  or  any  matter  or  circumstance 
tending  to  prove  that  any  apparent  deficiency  was  occasioned  by  unavoidable 
accideut,  or  lost  in  service,  without  any  fault  on  his  part,  or  that  the  whole  or 
any  part  of  such  clothing  and  supplies  had  been  properly  and  legally  used  and 
appropriated  ;  and  such  affidavit  may  be  considered  as  evidence  to  establish  the 
facts  set  forth,  with  or  without  other  evidence,  as  may  seem  to  the  Secretary  of 
War  just  and  proper  under  the  circumstances  of  the  case. — (Act  of  February  7, 
1863.) 

30.  Members  and  Judge  Advocates  of  Military  Commissions  will  be  entitled  to 
the  same  extra  pay  and  travelling  allowances  as  in  the  case  of  General  Courts- 
Martial. 

31  Paragraph  1416,  Army  Regulations,  is  so  amended  as  to  authorize  issues, 
without  payment,  of  equipments  and  arms  necessary  to  the  performance  of  such 
duty  to  officers  detailed  for  special  duty  requiring  them  to  be  mounted  ;  and  for 
which  service  th^y  receive  no  additional  compensation.  Officers  shall  receipt 
and  account  for  all  equipments  or  arms  so  issued  to  them. 

32.  All  quartermasters  and  commissaries  will  personally  attend  to  the  reception 
and  issue  of  supplies  for  their  commands,  and  will  keep  themselves  informed  of 
the  condition  of  the  depots,  roads,  and  other  communications. 

33.  Ail  quartermasters  and  commissaries  will  report,  by  letter,  on  the  first  of 
every  month,  to  the  chiefs  of  their  respective  departments,  at  Washington,  D.  C., 
their  station,  and  generally  the  duty  on  which  they  have  been  engaged  during 
the  preceding  month. 

34.  After   every   battle,    skirmish,  or    other    engagement,   the  Commanding 
Officer  of  each  Regiment,  Battery,  or  other  detached  portion  of  a  Regiment,  there 
present,  will,  in  addition  to  the  lists  transmitted  through  intermediate  Command- 
ers, promptly  forward,  direct  to  the  Adjutant  General,  a  correct  return  of  the  killed, 
wounded,  and  missing  of  his  command. 

35.  One  copy  of  the  monthly  returns  of  Regiments  will  be  forwarded  direct  to  the 
Adjutant  General's  Office. 

36.  The  chiefs  of  the  respective  Bureaus  in  the  War  Department  will  designate 
the  officers  to  be  assigned  as  Adjutant  General,  Quartermaster,  Commissary  of 
Subsistence,  and  Inspector  General  for  each  Army  Corps,  in  accordance  with 
section  10  of  the  act  approved  July  17,  1862.     These  officers  will,  when   once 
assigned,  remain  permanently  attached  to  their  respective  Corps  without  regard 
to  the  movements  of  Corps  Commanders,  unless  otherwise  assigned  by  the  Presi- 
dent. 

37.  The  Aides-de-Camp  authorized  for  Corps  Commanders  by  the  act  quoted 
above,  will  be  appointed  by  the  President,  by  and,  with  the  advice  and  consent 
of  the  Senate,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Corps  Commanders.     They  may 

•  accompany  the  General  for  whom  they  were  appointed  in  his  change  of  duties  or 
station  ;  but  when  he  is  assigned  to  a  command  inferior  to  an  Army  Corps,  their 
appointments  as  Aides-de-Camp  for  a  Corps  Commander  will  be  revoked,  and  they 
will  fall  back  upon  the  commission  previously  held. 

38.  The  only  members  of  their  Staff  whom  General  Officers  are  authorized  to

take  with  them,  when  detached  from,  or  otherwise  leaving  their  commands,  are 
their  ordinary  Aides-de-Camp — those  selected  in  accordance  with  the  acts  of  July 
22  and  29,  1861,  sections  3  and  4,  respectively,  and  of  July  17,  1862,  section  10. 

39.  No  officer  or  agent  under  the  control  of  the  War  Department,  disbursing 
public  money,  will  pay  any  claim  or  account  presented  through  agents  or  col- 
lectors, except  on  regular  power  of  attorney,  executed  after  the  account  or  claim 
is  due  and  payable,  and  unless  such  agent  or  collector  is  considered  by  the  dis- 
bursing officer  amply  able  to  reimburse  the  United  States,  or  the  disbursing  officer, 
in  case  such  claim  or  account  shall,  subsequent  to  payment,  prove  to  be  unjust  or 
fraudulent ;  and  when  an  account  is  presented  in  person  by  an  individual  who  is

sively hospital  supplies,  under  the  direction  of  the  Regimental  Surgeon ;  the  one 
for  regimental  headquarters  will  carry  the  grain  for  the  officers'  horses  ;  and  the 
three  allowed  for  each  battery  or  squadron  will  be  at  least  half  loaded  with  grain 
for  their  own  teams.     Stores  in  bulk  and  ammunition  will  be  carried  in  the  regu-

Corps,  Division,  or  Brigade,  one  wall  tent  to  the  Commanding  General,  and  one  to 
every  two  officers  of  his  staff.    For  the  Colonel,  Field,  and  Staff  of  a  full  regiment, 
three  wall  tents  ;  and  for  every  other  commissioned  officer,  one  shelter  tent  each.

camp  followers,  one  shelter  tent.    One  hospital  tent  will  be  allowed  for  office 
purposes  at  Corps  headquarters,  and  one  wall  tent  at  those  of  a  Division  or  a 
Brigade.     All  tents  beyond  this  allowance  will  be  left  in  depot. 

44.  Officers'  baggage  will  be  limited  to  blankets,  one  small  valise  or  carpet-bag, 
and  a  moderate  mess-kit.     The  men  will  carry  their  own  blankets  and  shelter 
tents,  and  reduce  the  contents  of  their  knapsacks  as  much  as  possible. 

45.  I  he  Depot  Quartermaster  will  provide  storage  for  a  reasonable  amount  of 
officers'  surplus  baggage,  and  the  extra  clothing  and  knapsacks  of  the  men. 

46.  Hospital  tents  are  for  the  sick  and  wounded,  and,  except  those  allowed  for 
Army  Corps  headquarters,  must  not  be  diverted  from  their  proper  use. 

47.  On  all  marches,  quartermasters,   under  the  orders  of  their  commanding 
officers,  will  accompany  and  conduct  their  trains  in  a  way  not  to  obstruct  the 
movement  of  troops.

cers must  be  very  particular  in  ascertaining  the  true  age  of  the  recruit. 

89.  If  the  recruit  be  a  minor  under  eighteen  years  of  age,  his  parent,  guardian,  cr 
master  must  sign  a  consent  to  his  enlisting,  which  will  be  added  to  the  preceding 
declaration  in  the  following  form,  &c. 

90.  The  forms  of  declaration,  and  of  consent,  in  case  of  a  minor  under  eighteen,

rendezvous. 

92  Lodging  will  be  furnished  on  a  return  showing  the  number  of  men,  days, 
and  dates  for  each.     From  these  returns  the  abstract  is  made  up. 

93  The  volunteer  recruiting  service  will  be  conducted  according  to  the  "  Regu- 
lations of  the  Recruiting  Service,"  for  the  United  States  Army,  as  far  as  they  are 
applicable,  except  where  special  directions  have  been  given  by  the  War  D«  part- 
ment.     The  existing  directions  ate  given  in  this  appendix,  and  such  others  as 
may  be  necessary,  from  time  to  time,  will  be  published  in  General  Orders  from  the 
Adjutant  General's  Office. 

94.  The  recruiting  service  in  the  various  States  for  the  volunteer  forces  already 
in  service,  and  for  those  that  may  be  received,  is  placed  under  charge  of  general 
superintendents  for  those  States,  respectively,  with  general  depots  for  the  col- 
lection and  instruction  of  recruits. 

95.  Both  the  superintendents  and  the  location  of  the  depots  are  announced  in 
orders  from  the  Adjutant  General's  Office. 

96.  The  superintendents  detailed  will  take  charge  of  the  recruiting  service  in  the 
various  States  to  which  they  are  assigned  ;  they  will  take  posts  at  their  general 
depots,  which  will  be  under  their  immediate  command.     Upon  the  requisition  of 
the  superinte  -dents,  a  suitable  number  of  volunteer  officers,  non-commissioned 
officers,  and  privates,  will  be  detailed  for  duty  in  the  staff  departments,  and  as 
drill  masters  at  the  respective  depots. 

97.  A  disbursing  officer  of  the  fund  for  "  collecting,  drilling,  and  organizing 
volunteers,"  will  be  assigned  to  each  depot,  and  will  be  under  the  direction  of 
the  superintendent. 

98  Commanding  officers  of  volunteer  regiments,  or  independent  companies,  will 
take  measuies  to  keep  the  strength  of  their  commands  up  to  the  maximum  standard 
of  organization. 

99.  For  this  purpose  two  commissioned  officers,  with  one  non-commissioned  officer 
or  private  from  each  company,  will  be  detailed,  from  time  to  time,  to  report  in 
person  to  the  superintendents  of  the  recruiting  service  for  their  respective  States. 
The  full  number  will  not  be  detailed  if  a  less  number  will  suffice  to  fill  up  the 
regiment. 

100.  These  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  will  be  detailed  for  a  tour  of 
six  months,  and  will  be  assigned  as  recruiting  parties  to  rendezvous  by  the  super- 
intendents ;   if  found  inefficient  or  incompetent,  they  will  be  relieved   and  re- 
placed by  others. 

101.  Nominations  for  these  details  will  be  made  by  the  colonels,  and  the  order 
for  detail  given  by  Commanders  of  Departments  or  Army  Corps. 

102  Parties  so  detailed  will  recruit  for  their  respective  regiments,  and  not  for 
the  General  Volunteer  Service.  They  will,  however,  be  under  the  direction  of 
the  general  superintendent. 

1 03.  Immediately  upon  their  arrival  at  their  stations,  or,  if  more  convenient,  upon 
their  way  thither,  the  commissioned  officers  thus  detailed  will  report  in  person  or 
by  letter  to  the  nearest  United  States  musteiing  officer,  who  will  give  them  in- 
structions in  the  matters  of  recruiting,  the  expenses  proper  to  be  incurred  there- 
for, and  the  rendition  of  their  accounts  with  proper  vouchers. 

104.  Mustering  officers  will  muster  into  service  and  administer  the  oath  of  alle- 
giance to  such  regiments  or  recruits  brought  to  them  as  may  present  conclusive 
evidence  of  their  acceptance  by  the  War  Department. 

105.  The  superintendents  will  establish  the  rendezvous,  and  so  arrange  for  the 
rent,  subsistence  of  recruits,  and  other  expenses,  that  thy  charges  may  be  reason- 
able, and  that  the  bills  therefor  may  be  certified  to  by  the  recruiting  officers  in 
charge,  and  presented  for  payment  to  the  disbursing  officers  at  the  general  depots.

106.  Enlistments  of  volunteers  will  be  made  upon  printed  forms,  to  be  furnished 
for  the  purpose,  similar  to  those  established  for  the  regular  service.     They  will  in 
all  cases  be  made  in  duplicate.® 

107.  Recruits  will  be  sent,  as  often  as  may  be  necessary,  in  small  squads,  to  the 
general  depots,  with  a  descriptive  list,  and  both  copies  of  the  enlistment  of  each 
man.    The  descriptive  list  will  be  examined,  and,  if  correct,  be  filed  with  the 
records  of  the  depot.     One  copy  of  each  enlistment  will  be  delivered  to  the  dis- 
bursing officer  to  assist  him  in  the  examination  and  verification  of  accounts,  and 
will  be  sent  with  those  accounts,  at  the  end  of  each  month,  to  the  Second  Auditor, 
at  Washington.     The  second  copy  will  be  sent  by  the  superintendent  to  the  Adju- 
tant General  of  the  Army,  with  a  consolidated  return  of  the  recruiting  parties  for 
the  month,  on  the  first  day  of  the  succeeding  month,  or  as  soon  thereafter  as 
practicable. 

108.  Recruiting  officers  will  send  to  the  superintendents  a  return  of  their  recruit- 
ing parties  for  each  month  on  the  first  day  of  the  succeeding  month.     They  will 
also  make  tri-monthly  reports  of  the  state  of  the  recruiting  service  to  the  superin- 
tendent, and  the  superintendent  will  forward  a  consolidated  tri-monthly  report 
to  the  Adjutant  General  of  the  Army. 

109.  Superintendents  will  keep  their  depots  supplied  with  sufficient  clothing  for 
issues  to  recruits,  and  with  the  arms  necessary  for  their  instruction. 

110.  Commanders  of  volunteer  regiments,  batteries,  or  independent  companies 
requiring  recruits,  will  make  requisitions,  approved  by  the  commanding  officers 
of  their  brigades,  divisions,  and  departments,  or  corps  d'armee,  direct  on  the 
superintendents  of  the  recruiting  service  for  their  respective  States,  who  will 
furnish  the  necessary  men,  forwarding  a  descriptive  list  with  them.     Certified 
copies  of  this  descriptive  list  will  be  forwarded  at  the  same  time  to  the  Adjutant 
General  of  the  Army,  and  to  the  Adjutant  General  of  the  State. 

111.  To  facilitate  the  raising  of  volunteer  regiments,  officers  recruiting  therefor 
are  authorized  to  muster  their  men  into  service  as  enrolled.    As  soon  as  mustered, 
these  men  will  be  sent,  with  descriptive  lists,  to  the  camps  of  rendezvous,  at 
which  places  the  oath  of  allegiance  will  be  duly  administered  by  a  civil  magis- 
trate, or  an  officer  of  the  regular  army,  preferably  by  the  latter.    The  cost  of 
transportation  from  place  of  muster-in  to  camps  of  rendezvous  will  be  paid  by  the 
quartermaster  at  the  latter  station. 

112.  When  the  organization  of  regiments  accepted  to  be  raised  within  a  specified 
time  is  not  completed  at  the  expiration  of  that  period,  the  companies  and  detach- 
ments thereof,  already  mustered  into  service,  will  be  assigned  to  other  regiments, 
at  the  pleasure  of  the  War  Department. 

113.  United  States  mustering  and  disbursing  officers  are  detailed  as  such  by 
orders  from  the  Adjutant  General's  Office.     They  will  disburse  the  fund  "for 
collecting,  drilling,  and  organizing  volunteers. ' '     They  will  make  requisitions  for 
funds  monthly  upon  the  Adjutant  General,  United  States  Army.     This  fund  is 
intended  for  the  payment  of  all  expenses  that  may  be  incurred  therefor,  as  well 
as  for  the  reimbursement  to  individuals  of  such  amounts  as  have  been  already 
justly  and  actually  expended  by  them  in  raising  troops  that  have  been,  or  may  be, 
received  into  the  service  of  the  United  States.     Reimbursements  of  expenses  for 
organizations  raised,  or  attempted  to  be  raised,  but  not  actually  mustered  into  the 
United  States  service,  will  not  be  made.     Claims  of  States  for  expenditures  here- 
tofore made  by  them  in  raising  volunteers  are  provided  for  by  separate  and  dis- 
tinct appropriations,  and  will  not  be  paid  from  the  one  now  referred  to. 

114.  Bills  must  set  forth  the  place  and  time  of  expenditure,  specifying  each  par- 
ticular item  and  the  amount,  also  the  company  and  regiment  for  which  the 
expense  was  incurred.     They  must  also  be  accompanied  by  the  receipt  of  the  party 

*  In  the  case  of  new  regiments  organized  under  General  Orders,  No.  75,  of  1862,  enlistment  papers 
will  be  made  in  triplicate,  and  disposed  of  as  directed  in  that  order.

to  whom  payment  was  made,  and  the  certificate  of  the  officer  or  person  incurring 
the  expense,  that  the  amount  charged  is  accurate  and  just,  and  that  it  was  neces- 
sary for  the  public  service,  for  troops  raised  for  the  United  States. 

115.  Among  expenses  properly  chargeable  against  the  fund  "for  collecting, 
drilling,  and  organizing  volunteers"  may  be  enumerated  : 

1.  Rent  of  rendezvous  or  office  for  recruiting. 

2.  Commutation  of  fuel  and  quarters  for  officers  already  mustered  into  service, 
when  detached  on  recruiting  duty. 

3.  In  organizing  new  Regiments  of  Volunteers,  the  subsistence  of  the  recruits, 
prior  to  the  completion  of  the  organization,  will  be  chargeable  against  the  appro- 
priation "for  collecting,  drilling,  and  organizing  volunteers."     After  the  organ- 
ization of  the  regiments  is  completed,  and  they  have  been  inspected  by  the  mus- 
tering officer  for  the  State,  subsistence  will  be  provided  by  the  Subsistence  De- 
partment.     Whenever  facilities  for  cooking  can  be  furnished  to  the  troops, 
whether  in  squads  or  larger  bodies,  subsistence  will  be  issued  in  kind,  as  recog- 
nized in  the  regular  service,  (or  if  other  articles  are  substituted,  the  cost  of  the 
whole  must  not  exceed  the  regular  supplies,)  and  will  be  paid  for  at  rates  not  ex- 
ceeding the  current  prices  at  the  place  of  purchase.     If  the  rations  cannot  be 
contracted  for  at  a  reasonable  rate,  subsistence  will  be  procured  in  bulk,  and 
issued  to  the  volunteers.     In  no  case  should  the  cost  of  the  ration,  uncooked,  ex- 
ceed nineteen  cents,  and  at  most  of  the  points  in  the  Western  States  it  should  riot 
exceed  fourteen  cents.     When  cooking  facilities  cannot  be  furnished,  contracts  for 
the  rations,  cooked,  may  be  made  at  reasonable  rates,  and  the  necessity  for  the 
same  must  be  clearly  stated  on  the  accounts.     When  board  and  lodging  are  neces- 
sary, the  prices  for  each  should  be  stated,  and  the  aggregate  cost  of  both  must 
not  exceed  forty  cents  per  day.

ganization and  muster  into  service  as  a  company.     After  completion  of  such  organ- 
ization and  muster,  transportation  will  be  paid  by  the  Quartermaster's  Depart- 
ment.    Transportation  will  be  at  the  rate  of  two  cents  per  mile  for  railroad  travel, 
and  at  the  current  rates  for  stage  and  steamboat  fare. 

5.  Rent  of  grounds  and  buildings  for  camping  purposes,  cost  of  erection  of 
quarters,  of  cooking  stoves  when  absolutely  necessary,  of  clerk  and  office  hire

of  rendezvous. 

6.  Knives,  forks,  tin  cups  and  tin  plates  for  volunteers. 

7.  Necessary  medicines  and  medical  attendance  prior  to  organization  of  reg- 
iments, or  the  mustering  in  of  the  regimental  surgeons.

agents  in  raising  or  recruiting  volunteers. 

9.  Advertising.     The  officers  recruiting  will  be  authorized  to  advertise  for  re- 
cruits in  not  more  than  two  English  and,  where  necessary,  two  German  daily 
papers,  by  short  notices,  for  each  rendezvous  tinder  their  charge,  and  likewise  to 
have,  in  cities,  not  more  than  two  hundred  posters  or  handbills  for  each  company, 
and  one-fourth  of  that  number  for  the  country. 

10.  Fuel  and  straw,  previous  to  company  organization,  according  to  the  allow- 
ance for  the  regular  army. 

11.  All  other  expenses  allowed  for  recruiting  in  the  regular  service  not  herein 
mentioned,  and  incurred  for  volunteers  previous  to  their  muster  into  the  United 
States  service. 

116.  Recruiting  officers  claiming  reimbursement  must  specify  in  their  bills  the 
place  and  date  of  expenditure  ;  the  items  and  amount ;  the  company  and  regi- 
ment for  which  the  expense  was  incurred ;  the  names  of  the  recruits,  accompanied 
by  the  receipt  of  the  party  to  whom  payment  was  made,   and  by  a  certificate 
of  the  officer  or  person  incurring  the  expense  that  the  amount  charged  is  accurate 
and  jusfr,  and  that  it  was  necessary  for  the  public  service,  and  that  the  recruits

tion as  he  may  consider  necessary,  to  be  laid  before  the  Secretary  of  War,  and  if 
approved,  a  certificate  will  be  issued  by  the  Commissary  General  of  Prisoners,  on 
which  payment  will  be  made  by  the  Subsistence  Department. 

119.  A  general  commanding  in  the  field,  or  a  department,  will  make  arrange- 
ments for  the  safe-keeping  and  reasonable  comfort  of  his  prisoners.     For  this 
purpose  he  will  place  them  under  a  guard  already  on  duty,  or  detach  a  guard  for 
the  special  service.     The  general  will  give  no  order  exchanging  prisoners,  or 
releasing  them,  except  under  instructions  from  the  Secretary  of  War. 

120.  In  emergencies  admitting  of  no  delay  the  general  will  act  upon  his  own 
authority,  and  give  any  order  in  relation  to  his  prisoners  the  public  interest  might 
require,  promptly  reporting  his  proceedings  to  ihe  War  Department  through  the 
Adjutant  General. 

121.  In  time  of  war  a  Commissary  General  of  Prisoners  will  be  announced,  whose 
general  duties  will  be  those  of  an  inspector,  and  all  communications  relating  to 
prisoners  will  pass  through  him.     Depots  for  prisoners  will  be  designated  by  the 
Secretary  of  War,  to  which  suitable  and  permanent  guards  will  be  assigned,  the 
whole  to  be  under  the  orders  of  the  Commissary  General  of  Prisoners.     He  will 
establish  regulations  for  issuing  clothing  to  prisoners,  and  will  direct  the  manner 
in  which  all  funds  arising  from  the  saving  of  rations  at  prison  hospitals  or  stations 
shall  be  accounted  for  and  disbursed  by  the  proper  disbursing  officer,  in  providing 
such  articles  as  he  may  deem  absolutely  necessary  for  the  welfare  of  the  prisoners. 
He  is  authorized  to  grant  paroles  to  prisoners  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medical 
officer  attending  the  prison  in  cases  of  extreme  illness,  but  under  no  other  circum 
stances. 

122.  The  Commissary  General  of  Prisoners  has  authority  to  call  for  such  reports 
from  officers  in  command  of  guards  over  prisoners  as  may  be  necessary  for  the 
proper  discharge  of  his  own  da  lies,  and  he  will  be  prepared  to  furnish  sue  h  in- 
formation in  relation  to  prisoners  as  may  be  called  for  by  the  Adjutant  General.

company  of  each  military  prisoner,  the  residence,  county,  and  State  of  each  civil 
prisoner,  with  the  charges  against  him,  and  the  time  and  place  of  capture  or 
arrest.     Any  special  information  of  importance  will  be  added  from  time  to  time 
in  the  column  of  remarks.     When  disposed  of  by  exchange  or  otherwise,  the 
fact  and  the  authority  for  it,  with  the  time,  should  be  noted  on  the  record. 

124.  The  Commissary  General  of  Prisoners  is  empowered  to  visit  places  atwhlrh 
prisoners  may  be  held,  and  will  recommend  to  the  general  whose  guards  are 
responsible  for  them  whatever  modification  in  their  treatment  may  seem  to  him 
proper  or  necessary,  and  report  the  same  to  the  War  Department. 

125.  The  Commissary  General  of  Prisoners  has  charge  of  the  United  States  officers 
and  men  on  parole,  and  correspondence  relating  to  them.     All  details  concern- 
ing them  will  pass  through  him.
